Extending the Business
During the quarter, the company opened 21 net new stores across Canada, Mexico and the United States, bringing the total store count to 1,911.

Building on the growing demand for do-it-for-me services, the company's services business grew 16 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Home Depot saw strong growth in categories such as roofing, kitchens, countertops, windows and carpet installation. The company expects to sustain double-digit growth in this area as do-it-for-me customers continue to be attracted to the convenience and quality of the company's offerings.

Expanding the Market

During the first quarter, the company continued its strategy of growing its market and global presence. At the end of the first quarter, nine percent of its stores were located in Canada and Mexico, and the company continues to build upon its plan to enter the retail market in China.
