| - Another office supplies store... What to say because frankly, they are all the same. I hate to say that but they pretty much are. Similar layout, similar products, similar prices. As a matter of fact some products are identical to the others but with different branding but I think the same Chinese factory makes the same product for all the companies. I digress... This particular location is seated well between West Towne Wall but closer the West Gate Mall. They have the standard thingamabobs and doodads for all your office needs at, in my opinion, probably the cheapest in the city. They actually have a little bigger selection than their competitors but I think that is based on sheer age of the company. Office Depot has been around since I can remember and was ALWAYS the first stop for school supplies.
So, the company has been around forever and they have the cheapest prices in town you say? So Colin, why only 3 stars then?! WELL ILL TELL YA... (dramatic effect) I give a three star rating for essentially one reason. Lack Of Change. This Office Depot hasn't changed since I was a wee-little-lad back in first grade. I just don't understand how a company expects to move forward if they are not willing to Market themselves. I have not seen any advertisements or bilboards for Office Depot in a very long time and can't imagine they're doing very well. I know that it might seem that that would reflect more on the company as a whole than a particular store but why isn't that store pushing harder to market themselves?
As most of my friends and readers on Yelp will realize about me that I enjoy the future very much and where we are going. Not particularly where we have been. In some situation its good to remain where you are and that's the spirit and charm of some places. Not however, for a company that sells technology products and business related items.
The store itself? Clean, organized, staff is excellent, but a little crowded entry way.
