HD Supply to close La Vergne distribution center, 108 layoffs

HD Supply, a subsidiary of The Home Depot, will shut its La Vergne, Tennessee, distribution facility and eliminate roughly 108 roles, the company disclosed in a previously filed WARN notice. The move reflects a consolidation of operations and triggered local workforce-response activity to help affected associates transition.

The closure was disclosed in a WARN filing made ahead of the planned shutdown, which was announced on January 12, 2026. HD Supply said it is consolidating facilities and will offer transfer opportunities to impacted associates. Local workforce development agencies and rapid-response teams have mobilized to coordinate services for laid-off workers, a common post-WARN response intended to connect employees with job counseling, training and placement assistance.

For associates at the La Vergne distribution center, the immediate consequences are job loss for positions not moved or filled through transfers. Associates eligible for transfers face decisions about relocation, commuting changes or applying for openings at other HD Supply or Home Depot-affiliated facilities. The company-level consolidation also carries implications for scheduling, staffing and workload at nearby distribution centers that will absorb redistributed inventory and functions.

This closure highlights tensions that can arise when large retailers and their supply-chain subsidiaries trim overlap to reduce costs or streamline logistics. Employees at distribution centers often have specialized skills tied to warehouse operations, inventory handling and equipment. When a DC closes, those skills can remain in demand across a regional network of facilities, but practical hurdles such as distance, seniority, shift availability and family commitments affect whether transfers are feasible for individual associates.

For Home Depot employees and managers, the La Vergne shutdown is a reminder that subsidiary-level decisions can ripple across the broader operations. Store managers and regional HR teams may see temporary disruptions as flows of goods shift and as new staffing patterns settle. For affected workers, rapid-response coordination by local workforce development offices typically includes job-search assistance, resume workshops and information on benefits and training programs that can help bridge to new employment.

What comes next for the La Vergne associates will depend on how many accept transfers, how quickly receiving facilities onboard additional staff and the particulars of local support offerings. Affected workers should look for official communications from HD Supply and Human Resources about transfer procedures, next steps and the timing of any workforce meetings. For Home Depot and its subsidiaries, the consolidation underscores the ongoing pressure to reshape distribution networks in the wake of changing demand, with consequences that will require careful handling to limit disruption for associates and operations.
