From the supplier: Home Depot opened the first Villager's Hardware outlet in East Brunswick, NJ. The hardware store's interior sends the message to consumers that it sells quality products, at a quality shopping environment with quality service, to be given by store personnel. It has modern wood floors, an open black ceiling and high-end hanging 'pinpoint' lighting. The store has a clean facade with a separate entrance for commercial contractors. Home Depot expects Villager's Hardware to earn $10 million annually at a 38% gross margin.
