Longmont Office Depot closing May 16

BOULDER — The Office Depot store at 2251 Ken Pratt Blvd. in the Village at Burlington shopping center will close May 16.

The office-supplies store appears to be the third casualty in the region from the Office Depot/OfficeMax merger that created Office Depot Inc. (NYSE: ODP). Friday, Office Depot confirmed that the OfficeMax store at 1880 30th St. in Boulder will also close May 16. An Office Depot store at 3500 S. College Ave. in The Square shopping center in Fort Collins closed in late 2013.

At the time of the merger in November 2013, Office Depot said it would shutter up to 400 stores nationwide to eliminate some stores in close proximity to each other.
