Atlanta-based Home Depot has purchased The Company Store, a 106-year-old retailer based in Wisconsin.
The company sells textiles and home décor products, a natural accompaniment to the kinds of home products sold by Home Depot.
Home Depot has prospered while many retailers shrink or even collapse.
In fact, the agreement does not include the retail stores, none of which are in metro Atlanta. Three are is Wisconsin, one in Maine and one in North Carolina.
Among company products are sheets, pillows, towels, quilts, home décor, bed covers, blankets, mattress pads, robes and sleepwear.
At least for now, The Company Store will operate as a stand-alone web site, Holmes said.
The companies did not announce terms of the deal.
