2,000 stores. Bam.

Interestingly, one of Home Depot’s biggest competitors, Lowes, is on the list of MCX merchants. I can’t imagine this is not a topic that will come up at the next Lowes Board of Directors meeting. Especially if some of those board members walk in with a brand new Apple Watch.

Update: Some people are questioning Home Depot being considered a large retailer (and questioning is always good!) To clarify this, large in the retailer universe is generally a revenue issue, not a number of locations issue. Here’s a link to a Forbes list of largest retailers in the world, which ranks Walmart as number one, CVS as number two, and Home Depot number three. Notice that Walmart and CVS are both on the MCX merchants.
