If you’re living in Baychester, Pelham Gardens, or anywhere near the East Gun Hill Road corridor, this Home Depot is pretty much the unofficial headquarters for keeping your home in one piece. It’s a major hub for the North Bronx, conveniently located right near the I-95 and the Hutchinson River Parkway. Whether you’re a local contractor grabbing supplies before the morning rush or a first-time homeowner trying to figure out which lightbulbs won't flicker, it’s the kind of place where you’ll always see a familiar face from the neighborhood.
What really makes this "Gun Hill" branch a lifesaver is the Tool & Truck Rental Center. We all know that Bronx apartments and homes don't always come with extra garage space, so why buy a giant floor sander or a power auger for a one-day job? You can just rent the pro-grade gear for a few hours and bring it back when you're done. Plus, if you’re picking up a new fridge or a stack of lumber that definitely won’t fit in your car, they have Penske moving trucks and flatbeds right on-site to help you get your haul home without having to bug a friend with a pickup.
The Garden Center here is a local favorite, especially when the seasons start to shift. It’s the go-to spot for grabbing heavy-duty snow shovels and salt before a winter storm hits the city, or finding hardy plants that can actually survive the New York humidity in the summer. The staff—especially the folks at the Pro Desk—are used to the fast-paced energy of the Bronx and are great at helping you find specific solutions for older brick homes or modern renovations.
For those days when you’re in a real rush to beat the Gun Hill Road traffic, the Home Depot app and Curbside Pickup are total game-changers. You can check exactly which aisle and bay your door hinges are in before you even park, or just order online and have the team bring your items right out to your vehicle near the front of the store. It’s efficient, reliable, and run by a crew that’s used to getting people in and out so they can get back to their projects. Whether you're a professional builder or a DIYer tackling your first kitchen backsplash, this spot is the anchor that gets the job done.
Business Hours
Monday – Saturday: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Sunday: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Note: Curbside pickup is generally available from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. The Pro Desk and Rental Center typically open at 6:00 AM on weekdays, which is perfect for the "early bird" crew to beat the morning bridge traffic.)
When The Home Depot was founded in 1978, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank had no idea how revolutionary this new “hardware store” would be for home improvement and the retail industry.
Today, we’re proud to be the world’s largest home improvement retailer. In more than 2,300 stores across North America, we aspire to excel in service – to our customers, associates, communities and shareholders. That’s what leadership means to us. That's The Home Depot difference.
Our founders' vision of one-stop shopping for the do-it-yourselfer came to fruition when they opened the first two Home Depot stores on June 22, 1979, in Atlanta, Georgia. The first stores, at around 60,000 square feet each, were cavernous warehouses that dwarfed the competition and stocked 25,000 products, much more than the average hardware store at that time.
Today, The Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement retailer with approximately 475,000 orange-blooded associates and more than 2,300 stores in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The typical store today averages 105,000 square feet of indoor retail space, interconnected with an e-commerce business that offers more than one million products for the DIY customer, professional contractors, and the industry's largest installation business for the Do-It-For-Me customer.
