Description
The story of how a couple of regular guys turned a small idea into a retail giant is a fascinating tale of entrepreneurship and determination. Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, two men who had just been fired, were given a second chance when a friend told them they had been "hit in the ass by a golden horseshoe". This chance encounter led to the creation of The Home Depot, a company that would go on to revolutionise the way people shop for home improvement products. The Home Depot's meteoric rise from a small warehouse store to a global business with 761 stores and $30 billion in sales in just twenty years is a remarkable story of growth and success. This book tells the story of the company's founding and rise to fame, and provides valuable lessons for anyone starting or running a business. With its unique blend of business history and entrepreneurial insight, Built from Scratch is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of business and retail.
