Refrigerators are all over the place at that Home Depot store in Orlando, Fla. It’s like a jungle of appliances in there, with all kinds of brands and options to choose from. John Raoux took a photo there, and you can see it up above. Pretty cool, right?
Home Depot bigwigs had some things to say about prices and tariffs on Tuesday. They don’t really plan on jacking up prices for everyone, which is good news. But, some stuff might disappear from the shelves if the extra costs from imports make it not worth it. Billy Bastek, the merchandising chief, said that some items might not make the cut. “There’ll be some things that don’t make sense that just end up going away,” he said. So, keep an eye out for any changes next time you’re shopping for home improvement goodies.
Home Depot is feeling pretty good about their position in the retail world. They’re huge, with a lot of power in the market. Unlike Walmart, they don’t sell food and their customers usually spend more money. Plus, they already get more than half of their stuff from the U.S. So, they’re not as worried about tariffs as some other companies. They’re even planning to buy less than 10% of their products from any single foreign country by 2026. Smart move, right? Let’s see how it all plays out in the coming months.
