History

The company was founded in 1974 as Maintenance Warehouse in San Diego, CA. In 1997, The Home Depot purchased Maintenance Warehouse with its dedicated delivery trucks and free delivery service. In 2004, Maintenance Warehouse changed its name to HD Supply. In January 2006, Home Depot announced that it was acquiring Hughes Supply in a $3.2 billion deal. Hughes Supply was integrated into the HD Supply division.

Home Depot, after changing its CEO from Bob Nardelli to Frank Blake, decided to sell HD Supply in order to raise capital to repurchase Home Depot stock and shore up the stock price. In 2007, the company was purchased by private equity firms Bain Capital, The Carlyle Group, and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, and continued as HD Supply.

On June 27, 2013, HD Supply Holdings, Inc., the indirect parent of HD Supply, Inc., announced that it had priced an initial public offering of 53,191,489 shares of common stock at $18.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 27, 2013 under the ticker symbol HDS.[8] In December 2014 SEC filings show that The Carlyle Group and Clayton, Dubilier, & Rice have sold off their holdings of HD Supply[9]. However, on 1 August 2017, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice acquired the Waterworks division of HD Supply for USD 2.5 billion[10], and changed its name to Core & Main[11].
