A company spokeswoman wrote in an email Monday night that it was a tough decision.
“Unfortunately, we made the difficult decision to close the Mexico, MO location at the end of October 2025. Products will be stocked at other Home Depot distribution centers based on regional inventory needs,” Sara Gorman said.
According to the notice, 61 employees are expected to be affected.
“We’re focused on doing the right thing and supporting our associates with separation packages, transitional benefits and job placement support. Impacted associates have been encouraged to apply to other roles within the company. “
