New HQ for Office Depot

By News Minder at 05/28/08 10:32

I think it is great that Office Depot has grown to need a new headquarters. I am happy to see a business that is thriving in today's economy. Maybe some heavier competition for Staples is in order as well.

In any case, I am glad to hear of a success story in the office supply realm. It is good because everyone needs that type of supplies. To read about the specifics of the new HQ go to Office Depot eyes November opening of new Boca HQ.

Corporate Express Buys French Company

Corporate Express, a Dutch office supply company has recently bought out a French company called Lyreco SAS.

New Sales Team Leader is Good Role Model

Often in the world of business, you only hear about the scams and the people who cheat their companies out of money. Rarely do you hear of the people are really role models for younger people wishing to enter the field of business.

I read an article about the new sales team leader at Regency Office Products. Marissa Foradas has had nothing but praise from the company for her work. The company sells office supplies like ink and tonor, shredders and more.

The Bad Girls of New York City

According to a new article, 59 percent of New York women have admitted to taking office supplies from work compared to 49 percent of other women in the U.S. We all know someone who does this or maybe even we do it ourselves. There was one woman at my office who would regularly steal products like paper and binders out of inventory and we are an office supply company!

Post Office Expansion

Running a business AND a post office extension, now that sounds like it would be crazy. Paper Products, an office supply company, has recently been the site of a newly opened post office extension. Personally, I think it would be rough to run a fully functional post office in addition to a well established business. If you have ever been in the post office during a holiday or busy hour, you know what kind of chaos that is. Hopefully, it works out well for the business owner and all others involved.
