DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – A Dallas Home Depot store is back open after being demolished in last year’s EF-3 tornado that ripped through parts of the metroplex.
The store off HWY 75 and Forest Lane officially welcomed customers inside Thursday for the first time in nearly 12 months.
“The amount of vendors and the amount of people we had to coordinate with to pull this off with COVID and some of the confusion that’s caused, it’s definitely been as task in itself,” said Assistant Store Manager Jordan Jasper.
Close to 200 employees are back at work after many of them were transferred to other local stores. The location is still hiring.
“This store is very much tied into the community so when the tornado hit we knew we’d be back,” said Jasper. “It was just a matter of how.”
The store is equipped with modern new design and new product as it officially reopens to the public.
