Detroit's Home Depot: Most profitable among 100 regional stores

That Home Depot services that area. There are two other Home Depots not that far away. One on Ford Rd/Southfield, and another at Southfield/94, where there is also a Lowe's. I'm sure there are plenty of Home Depots in BFE that don't share the competition of a Lowe's, yet of those 100, they aren't the leader in profits.

Damn people, can't you for once just face the fact that it IS possible for a business to suceed in Detroit? If Meijer moves into 8 mile/Woodward, I'm sure they will also be one of the more profitable stores in the region.

NO! Because it's not possible within the constructs of my limited mindset.

You're 100% correct. The Hard Rock Cafe was the most profitable the year it opened up. Dowtown's Fishbone has concisitently been one of the most profitable restaurants in the midwest for well over a decade. The Super Kmart that Home Depot replaced was making money hand over fist at the time it was shut down. Comcast makes more money per capita in Detroit than anywhere else in the state. Don't worry about the complainers. Losers always expect to lose.
