Suzanne Reith sent a message to Craig Menear - Chairman, CEO and President of The Home Depot email address that said:
Hello!
I would like to see Home Depot create a tool department for Women. I purchase many power tools to use, but find they are not made for smaller hands, they are heavy in weight, which tends to make them hard to use.
I repurpose furniture, redesign rooms, and more. As your company is aware, women are now a powerful force in the building area. We are in need of tools that fit out physical make up as well.
They do not need to be pink, actually I find this an insult, unless it is to support breast cancer.
Offering this to women like myself makes our shopping experience easier. We have a place to find what works for us, we would be able to come in, purchase what we need, without the headache of searching what works best for us in this male dominated area.
I primarily shop at Home Depot, so I am coming to you first as a loyal customer. I would like to stay a loyal customer. To be honest, if another company offers this , my loyalties will change.
Thank you !
