I haven't shopped at either store in many, many years, but OfficeMax was always much more expensive than OfficeDepot, at least in my area.

Thank goodness. It was too hard to tell them apart :thumbsup:

 

[silverpig]

Is it gonna be called DepotMax?

Or OfficeOffice?

 

[Mixolydian]

Or MaxDepot.

Let Staples buy them off after a few years. :awe:

Aw great. One less option for a good Black Friday deal now. Maybe Burger King and McDonalds will merge next.

Staples has been kicking Office Depot's ass around here. (the closest OD is now about 25 miles away) They've closed the three stores closest to me in the past 2 years...thanks to the reduced competition, Staples continues to exceed their sales goals every month.

I honestly don't remember the last time I went into an OfficeMax. Office Depot was close to my house in California, so I did business there, Staples was quite a ways, so I didn't do much with them except for the occasional sale...OfficeMax...not in at least 10 years.

I can't believe this took so long. 3 stores that do the exact same thing. In this economy, what could go wrong?

I guess the Easy button is saving Staples, lol.

LOL I predict a lot of people walking in to just "have a look around" in that case.

Office DeMax

I used to go OfficeMax a lot when they sent out the $10 off a $20 purchase coupons. Now most times it is $10 off a $50 purchase so I don't go there as often.

I guess it's time to turn off the lights at Office Max. That way the stores will be as gloomy as Office Depot.

I always thought they were the same company that just likes to interchange the names for their stores....

 

[zsdersw]

They've been as different as Fleet-Farm and Farm&Fleet... so it makes sense to merge.

 

[Ausm]

I think this will benefit Staples.

 

[TheVrolok]

They've been the exact same store forever, might as well make it official.

 

[Exterous]

Good - now we will only have 2 red themed office supply stores instead of 3

 

[Jadow]

kiss a lot of jobs goodbye. the officemax in my town will end up closing due to this and probably a lot of others.

Some jobs will be lost that is for sure however some jobs will be kept and potentially if this merger is a beneficial merger more will be created. However that all depends if this new entity can still compete with Staples, smaller office supply stores and other non-office supply retailers such as Walmart, Walgreen's, Target, Costco, etc who also some of the same products.

I always found it odd that all three chains used the same color scheme in their branding.
