Home Depot (HD)

According to Trading markets, Home Depot is taking a hard look at those acres of blacktop surrounding their stores to see if they could support an acre-sized business in the parking lot. Fast-food restaurants, banks or auto-parts stores are the most likely businesses that will pop up on those oceans of asphalt that are no longer practical, said Mike LaFerle, vice president of real estate and construction for the company.
File this under "signs of the times". The 14 stores in the Sacramento region are among the potential locations for the "carve-out" projects, but specific sites have not been identified. We'll keep you posted.
