Once again, it’s a top heavy list. The world’s largest home improvement retailer maintained its grip on the top spot with a record $110 billion in sales. And The Home Depot doesn’t intend to let go anytime soon. “We are now two years into our multi-year investment program and have more conviction than ever that our strategic initiatives are creating a value proposition that is unique to the marketplace and will extend our leadership position for years to come,” said The Home Depot CEO Craig Menear, as the company announced its record earnings report earlier this year. “Through the second year of our One Home Depot investment program, we have grown sales by over $9 billion dollars — a level of growth unmatched in our market.” Lumberyards on the Top 300 generally dealt with commodity price deflation. But many saw big revenue gains driven by acquisitions. Across the spectrum, sales per location for all of the Top 300 amounted to $14.2 million (Amazon and Walmart excluded).

HBSDealer editors used a combination of e-mail surveys, internet research, published reports and estimates to determine the data points on the following pages. Those metrics include: Revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year, The number of stores/locations
