The Irvine home improvement retailer said it expects to open stores in Norco, Norwalk and Phoenix in the first half of next year, and a site in Los Angeles later in the year or early in 2000. Separately, HomeBase said it expects to open an Everett, Wash., outlet in October but delayed the opening of a second store in the same city until next year.
HomeBase, which plans to open six additional stores by January 2000, now operates 83 warehouses in 10 Western states.
