I remember years ago in Georgia, a Home Depot was built immediately next door to a successful local store called "Builderama". Builderama was gone within about a month or so.

But, I think that Amazon is a bigger threat to Home Depot, Lowes, and ACE. Why drive to a store when you can get it the next day and usually for less money?
