WICHITA — Stores are starting to close following the merger of Office Depot and OfficeMax late last year.
The OfficeMax on West Kellogg will close on May 31.
“It’s due to the merger,” says supervisor Lynn Bradley.
She says 16 stores will close in the district that includes Kansas. California, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Utah and Las Vegas are also in that district.
“We’re not sure if there will be more to come or not,” Bradley says of more closures.
She’s not sure how the other OfficeMax and Office Depot stores in Wichita will be affected.
Bradley says everything in the West Kellogg store will be sold by the time it closes, and that includes displays.
“The only thing that will be left in the store will be the lights.”
