Home Depot is coming to Maricopa.
The Atlanta-based, big-box, home-improvement chain has confirmed with the city its intention to open a store on Stonegate Road between Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and Alan Stephens Parkway on the city’s southeastern side.
The world’s largest home-improvement retailer, with more than 2,300 stores across North America, anticipates opening its Maricopa store in spring 2024.
“This is a really exciting day for Maricopa,” Mayor Nancy Smith said. “It’s absolutely amazing that this is coming. People who have any type of projects at home now can go to this store and receive any of the products that they need that come from a big store like this.”
Home Depot will submit building plans to the city over the next three months. The average construction time for a Home Depot from ground-breaking to opening is typically 10 months, a company spokesperson said.
Smith said it has been a long time coming. Discussions with Home Depot began when her husband, Tony Smith, was Maricopa mayor 15 years ago.
“I was just talking with Tony this morning after reading the city manager’s confirmation email and they had a place picked out,” Nancy Smith said. “They were very serious. It had taken a lot of work to get them interested way back in 2008 when we were that much smaller and that much newer.”
