Revenue is generated primarily through one-time retail transactions at unit pricing with weekly promotional circulars, seasonal liquidations, and a "Bas Prix" discount tier, supplemented by a contractor pricing program and an equipment-rental revenue stream. Customers are segmented horizontally into two primary groups: individual homeowners and DIY consumers purchasing home improvement and seasonal products, and professional contractors requiring bulk supplies, contractor pricing, early-access hours, and delivery service.
