<h2>家得寶很少關店</h2>
<p>許多零售商在一年中的多個時間段關閉商店。事實上，商店在紀念日、7 月 4 日和勞動節等假期關閉是相當普遍的。</p>
<p>然而，家得寶幾乎全年每天都開門。部分原因是公司以始終為顧客提供服務而自豪。</p>

<p>這是一年中家得寶唯一不歡迎顧客的兩天。</p>
<p>這與沃爾瑪的關店時間表相同，而消費者可能會對此感到沮喪，因為他們習慣於家得寶總是開門。但雖然一些顧客可能不喜歡這樣，背後是有原因的。</p>
<h2>家得寶的戰略決策</h2>
<p>一年關兩次店對家得寶來説是有意義的，原因有幾個。</p>
<p>首先，公司維持着巨大的商店，規模類似於許多顧客覺得令人印象深刻但又讓人感到壓倒的好市多倉庫。</p>
<p>僅僅維持這樣一個大商店的運營就需要花費資金。而考慮到感恩節和聖誕節並不是大型家居改善的日子，那個時候的客流量可能會很少。</p>

家得寶

<p>家得寶將在感恩節和聖誕節關閉門店，以與沃爾瑪的政策保持一致。這一戰略舉措考慮到假期人流量較低，並旨在提升員工士氣。儘管上個季度人流量下降了 0.4%，但預計關閉門店不會對銷售產生顯著影響</p>

<p>Home Depot has always sort of done its own thing as a large retailer.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>家得寶作為一家大型零售商，一直以來都保持着自己的風格。</p>
</div><p>Whereas other retailers may hire any old person to stock shelves or ring up purchases, Home Depot tends to hire knowledgeable sales associates who are trained in specific trades.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>而其他零售商可能會僱傭任何人來補貨或收銀，家得寶則傾向於僱傭那些在特定行業經過培訓的知識豐富的銷售助理。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>例如，如果你需要幫助找到合適的卧室油漆，就會有專人提供幫助。如果你勇敢地自己進行浴室改造，店內的員工可以指導你選擇合適的材料。</p>
</div><p>Plus, the very nature of Home Depot is that it's a store customers tend to need year-round. That's why Home Depot maintains long hours throughout the year, opening as early as 6 a.m. and closing as late as 10 p.m.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>此外，家得寶的本質就是一個顧客全年都需要的商店。這就是為什麼家得寶全年保持長時間營業，早上 6 點開門，晚上 10 點關門。</p>

</div><h2>Home Depot rarely closes stores</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>家得寶很少關店</h2>
</div><p>Many retailers close their doors to shoppers multiple times during the year. It's pretty common, in fact, for stores to be closed on holidays that include Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.</p>

</div><h2>A strategic decision for Home Depot</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>家得寶的戰略決策</h2>
</div><p>Closing twice a year makes sense for Home Depot for a couple of reasons.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>一年關兩次店對家得寶來説是有意義的，原因有幾個。</p>
</div><p>First, the company maintains huge stores, similar in size to the Costco warehouses many customers find impressive but overwhelming.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>首先，公司維持着巨大的商店，規模類似於許多顧客覺得令人印象深刻但又讓人感到壓倒的好市多倉庫。</p>
</div><p>It costs money just to keep a store that large running for a day. And given that Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't really big home-improvement days, foot traffic is likely to be minimal at those times.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>僅僅維持這樣一個大商店的運營就需要花費資金。而考慮到感恩節和聖誕節並不是大型家居改善的日子，那個時候的客流量可能會很少。</p>
</div><p>It's just not worth the cost of staying open for what could be only a handful of customers.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>為了僅僅幾位顧客而保持營業的成本是得不償失的。</p>
