After months of watching the building go up, The Home Depot finally confirmed the grand opening of its store on Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway for Thursday, Sep. 26, according to company spokesperson Lauren Anderson.
She did not confirm information about store hours, but did say the store will host a “neighborhood night” on Sep. 25, “which will include refreshments, games, giveaways and kids workshops.”
The building supply store’s opening has been years in the making. Plans were originally announced in 2007, but the company later shelved those plans because of the Great Recession.
Whispers of the home improvement giant coming to town re-emerged last April and construction began in December.
