Yardbirds Home Center

Yardbirds Home Center is a defunct chain of home improvement stores 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 three were closed permanently. Five smaller stores were reopened in Spring 2007 as YardBIRDS, a Home Depot company. But it was announced they too will close.^[2]

Late in January 2009 Home Depot announced the closing of all 5 YardBirds Stores along with the entire EXPO division.
