I have to agree, HF is not going anywhere soon.
Just because a place is packed with shoppers is no guarantee they are a healthy business. All depends on the business model. I can start a car dealership and sell brand new pickup trucks for $100. but not going to last long.
What surprises me is there is not someone opening a like store to compete. Yes, Home Depot or Lowes has tools but nothing like the selection of HF.
Is it because they cant see a like business model that works????
