Office Depot to open Moore store

Office Depot, a leading global provider of office products and services, announced this week that it will open its first store in Moore 2 p.m. Thursday.

The store is located at 2200 S. I-35 Frontage Rd. in the Shops at Moore plaza.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, company officials said the Office Depot Foundation will make $500 contributions and donate a number of new children's backpacks to three local non-profit organizations: Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Police Athletic League and Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy.

In addition, several local and state officials, including Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis and Brenda Roberts, Executive Director, Moore Chamber of Commerce, will offer welcoming remarks.

The public is invited to attend the event.

The new Moore store features Office Depot's industry-leading M2 retail format -- a concept designed specifically for the way people make purchase decisions.

Products are grouped in highly visible, strategically located "pods," with core supplies at the outer perimeter of the store signed for optimal visibility and easy purchase ? and furniture and technology at the center to better support consultative sales.

Company officials said the story would employapproximately 20 full- and part-time associates.
