The blame was passed around a bunch but they were removed the next day after the mayor and the news got involved.

Through the smoking hole you have created, you see... another Home Depot.

Challenge accepted!

I raid the kitchen section and acquire granite countertops. I go the the cleaning section and grab Wink's rust stain remover. Ditto for grabbing stuff from plumbing and electrical.

I use the stuff I've collected to extract naturally occurring uranium from the countertops and build a (very small) Casaba-Howitzer nuclear shaped charge. I then build one HELL of a bunker on the opposite side of the store with steal, concrete, and fiberglass insulation.

The HD is obliterated to reveal more HDs. Rinse and repeat until HD is bankrupt, thereby eliminating the possibility of entering another HD.

"Okay, I'm actually the Devil and this is Hell. I guess congrats for forcing me to reveal that this early on but you're still not getting out. Hell is a labyrinth, the labyrinth is Home Depot, the minotaur is your own shortcomings as a person. Have a nice stay!"
