Yardbirds Home Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yardbirds Home Center was a chain of 10 home improvement stores similar to Home Depot based in Petaluma, California, United States. Their trademark colors were yellow and white. Their mascot was a white buzzard with yellow overalls. These stores were not affiliated with the Yard Birds stores based out of Chehalis, Washington that used a black bird with a yellow beak as its mascot.

The chain has been purchased by Home Depot, and the stores were closed for remodeling.[1] Two have reopened as Home Depots, while 3 are closed permanently. 5 smaller stores were reopened in Spring 2007 as YardBIRDS, a Home Depot company.
