B&Q was founded in the 60s and home depot was founded in the 70s. I even found an article saying how b&q stood out from traditional outlets with its revolutionised open warehouse layout.
Are Home Depot & B&Q linked? (2026 Update)

remember Dodge City ?
Texas Homecare as well.
However, I think I did hear that many large retailers have stakes in these sheds, so I imagine its because bulk buying lowers wholesale prices. It killed the hardware stores. Brian
Well unsure who it would actually be who borrowed from who especially because B&Q existed before HD but it does definitely seem like coincidence
