Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus were fired by a home improvement chain. So they started their own. They called it Home Depot. Blank was 37. Marcus was 50. Sales were $7 million in the first year. Today? $7 million every 20 minutes. pic.twitter.com/bYpH6U4znA — Jon Erlichman (@JonErlichman) February 21, 2023
