Of course, if they sell B&Q to Home Depot (which would require no
colour change, little rebranding and be up and running in 10 minutes),
they would be No. 1.

- B&Q layout identical
- "You can do it. We can Help" (TM) {You can do it when you B&Q it}
- Everything the same shade of orange
- Old duffers in aprons at the door.
- Buckets to use instead of baskets
- Signage identical
- Tool Corrall
The only thing HD doesn't usually have is a cafeteria for the punters
in the store - there's usually a roach coach outside.
When the B&Q Warehouse concept was introduced, the first few were called
"B&Q Depot" (with the above Home Depot similarities) but Home Depot were
not impressed and made them change it, presumably in case of future
expansion to the UK.
