got a fixer-upper? had an hgtv marathon and officially want to turn that little front step into a aesthetically pleasing porch with a built-in jacuzzi? you’ve found the place. this home improvement monster has reared its ugly head in nearly every corner of the world, and montréal is no exception. after all, in all of canada, it employs 35,000 people in 190 stores. four members of that lovely statistic are julian rosenblatt and lulu kravitz – who affectionately refer to themselves as the “last two jews in canada” and run the garden center part of the store – and gemma burton and joshua patterson. yes, don’t die of shock, greenery actually grows in canada. also, of note, the home depot isn’t actually referred to as the home depot in quebec. it’s just home depot. the french get confused by “the” too easily.
