WHERE TO BUY DIY STUFF: HOME IMPROVEMENT DEPOT WAREHOUSES

 CITI HARDWARE

The Pioneer in One-stop-shop Home Improvement Warehouse business

CITI HARDWARE's Business model spawned many more Depots 
like Triumph Depot, Wilcon Depot and AllHome (See videos below)

If you are into construction, DIY and Home Improvement, what comes to mind is a gargantuan task of searching for the right materials, equipment, interior ornaments and the like. 
During the 90s, all you need to do is go to many stores or hardware shops that specializes in different brands and materials.  It takes days for you and your contractor to decide what's the best material with reasonable prices. 


But when CITIHardware popularized the one-stop-shop hardware, everything changed. This time people can go check what they need and purchase them under one roof. The warehouse offer you almost all you need to build a shelter or furniture. 




Inside CITIHardware is an array of simple to beautifully-designed tiles. They sell a lot of lighting and bathroom fixtures. They do have garden decorations too. If you need a door, they do sell made to install doors from simple to complex design. Also inside are many aisle of paint brands for different purpose and the great thing there are people who can electronically mix your paint. Brands like Boysen has a Mix and Match Paint Mixing Station inside and Davies has Computerized Paint Mixing Machine. 


CITI Hardware pioneered this kind of business model and it inspired some companies to do the same. Now you can find many big names in this kind of industry with their own style of depot like Triumph Depot and Wilcon Depot.
