Hey....no staples in Miami, FL?

[compper]

hey im looking for a Staples store around Miami, FL (anywhere within an hour will do). I looked on staples.com but it doesnt show anything for my zip/city...I also tried yellowpages.com and the only 2 "Staples" I get are around Tampa. This is kind of odd since there's a officedepot/officemax/bestbuy/etc every few miles in this city. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think there's a Staples down in Miami. The furthest south they go is only down to West Palm Beach...

There's none up here in Gainesville, either.

Back in the mid-90s Staples was looking to merge with Office Depot.

They did not have any stores in S Florida and were looking to utilize the Office Depot system in that area

Potential anti-trust problems killed the merger.

Office Depot has grown stronger and STaples just does not feel like trying to force their way into the area.

Same problem exists here in Southern Nevada. Only Staples are in the Reno area.
