As an ex pat living in Merica, who are the main DIY sheds?

AIUI B&Q is largely based on Home Depot. Whats the Mercan equivalent of
Homebase
Walmart.
Have you ever been able to buy groceries in Homebase?

Why, sweets at the till, and 'grow yer own's' from the gardening
section. Cans of diet coke, and a burger van outside. Sorted. :-p

Yeah, admittedly Homebase is rather a (huge) lot smaller than Walmart.

My point was that Walmart is a supermarket that happens to sell DIY stuff,
whereas Homebase is a DIY shed only.

Remember that HB is part of Sainsbury though - you quite often find them
next to each other on many retail parks etc. So if you take both
together (ignoring the separate buildings issue), you are closer to
walmart.
