Home Depot is set to acquire building materials supplier SRS Distribution in an $18.25 billion deal, aiming to expand its professional customer base amid slower consumer demand for home improvement projects. The acquisition will provide Home Depot with access to SRS' warehouse network and delivery fleet, allowing the company to better serve professional builders and contractors. This move reflects Home Depot's focus on driving sales and profitability by enhancing the customer experience, particularly for larger contractors who have faced logistical challenges with the company in the past.
