Yardbirds Home Center

Yardbirds Home Center

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. [Home Depot buys California chain Home Depot acquired Yardbirds Home Center for an undisclosed sum, according to the Contra Costa Times. Yardbirds, based in Petaluma, Calif., since 1975, operates 10 stores in Northern California and logged $185 million in sales last year. http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/1205/06homedepot.html ] 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.
