The Home Depot has officially opened its new store in Celina, Texas, hiring 149 employees to staff the location. The store is located on Preston Road and held a soft opening on August 19 before its grand opening on August 20.
Celina store manager Rachel Sutton, who started at The Home Depot 18 years ago as a part-time cashier, now oversees 149 associates, including 124 new hires. According to Sutton, the store expects to serve both do-it-yourself shoppers and professional contractors in the fast-growing city of Celina.
The Home Depot received an economic incentive agreement from the city in December 2024, which includes a sales tax grant of up to $1.4 million over ten years split between the city and the Celina Economic Development Corporation.
