A retailer with 905 stores now makes an unexpected closure in Kansas City, Missouri, after 30 years in business.
Office Depot will shut its doors at one Kansas City, Missouri location on June 8th.
Storewide, items are on sale for between 30% and 60% off, according to the Kansas City Star.
The closing Office Depot is located at 4201 Main St in Kansas City, Missouri.
That’s on the south side of the city, near the border with Kansas.
The local paper reported that the location opened in 1994.
Currently, there are around 905 Office Depot locations in the country, according to data website ScrapeHero.
OfficeMax, another brand of supply store, is owned by Office Depot.
After the last supplies are sold and the building’s doors are locked, Kansas City residents will have to find other sources of office essentials.
The next closest store within the company is an OfficeMax in Merriam, Kansas, reports The-Sun.
That’s a roughly 15 minute drive away.
There’s another Office Depot 20 minutes to the west of the closing location, in Independence, Missouri.
There’s also an Office Depot on the north side of the city, also about 20 minutes away.
There are fewer Staples locations in the area.
One north of the city is a 25 minute drive from the closing Office Depot.
For now, area shoppers can keep stopping by the Main Street location to find discounts.
An OfficeMax location in Indiana recently closed its doors as well.
Earlier, another Office Depot in Illinois shut in November.
Since 2020, hundreds of Office Depot stores have closed after a company restructuring.
Competitor Staples has also closed a few of its stores.

Before the closures, TGI Fridays had about 270 US locations, according to the company’s website.
