Do you know what home depot is? They're a store, that you have to like, go to.

Ah my bad. I thought it was like a depot, that you had at home. /s

If McDonalds and Aldi can work on multiple continents I'm sure it's not logistically impossible.

Standing up and maintaining a distribution network is non trivial, especially for bulky goods that aren't practical for mail order shipping. Home Depot doesn't contract out locally sourced production like your examples do.
