Handymen and gardeners note: This big-box store just opened near I-84
Contractors, tradespeople and do-it-yourselfers take note: Home Depot just opened a new store near Interstate 84 in Caldwell.
It could save you about 25 minutes, he time it takes to drive the 13-mile round trip from the new store to the closest other Home Depot in Nampa.
The store is the Atlanta-based company’s 13th in Idaho and the second to open in the state this year (one opened a store in Moscow in May). It’s located at 4106 U.S. Hwy. 20-26 along a strip that has been ripe with new developments, such as a nearby Saint Alphonsus urgent care building, also slated to open this fall.
A spokesperson for Home Depot told the Idaho Statesman by email that the company is selective about choosing the right location for future stores and decided on the site in Caldwell because of the rapid growth in the area.
The same growth prompted Fred Meyer to announce plans in June for a new store at U.S. Highway 26 and Middleton Road just east of the Home Depot.
“Being a part of a growing community is one of the most exciting parts of this store opening,” Bradley Cunnigham, store manager at the Home Depot in Caldwell, said in a news release. “We’re committed to showing up for the people here.”
The 107,519-square-foot store opened on Oct. 2. It will employ 125 people, according to the release.
It has specialty showrooms with merchandising displays and layouts, a large garden center, a tool rental center, and storage areas for online-order pickups, the release said.
The company has several other stores in the Treasure Valley, including two in Boise and one apiece in Meridian, Nampa and Eagle.
