Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot — do office-supplies chains have a future?
taples has 1,500 stores in the U.S. and more than 2,200 worldwide, it said on its website. Office Depot ODP , combined with OfficeMax, had 1,912 stores at the end of the 2013. Store closings also are a key strategy behind the newly merged company’s cost-savings target.
Still, as retailers like RadioShack Corp. RSH also are having a tough time reinventing themselves, many doubt that Staples can reinvent itself fast enough.
