WARRENTON – The new Home Depot store in Warrenton will officially open Aug. 18 at 6 a.m.

The store will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays.

Official grand opening ceremonies will be Aug. 20 at 6 p.m. at the store, where there will be refreshments, prize giveaways and vendor demonstrations.

Home Depot will also present two $1,000 checks to local nonprofit programs – one to Clatsop CASA and the other to Clatsop Community Action Committee.

The store has all of the features of a Home Depot, but has more show room than some older stores, with ideas and options for remodeling kitchens and bathrooms.

A replica of NASCAR champion Tony Stewart’s racing car will be in the parking lot of the store from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday for a meet-and-greet with the staff of the store. NASCAR experts, activities for children and refreshments are planned for the event.
