The Economy's Newest Victim: Office Depot

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Dec 11, 2008 7:35PM

Office Depot has announced it's closing 112 stores nationwide, which includes 15 Chicago-area stores. One of the more high-profile closings is in the Southgate Market mall in the South Loop. The closings will leave approximately 300 area workers without jobs, but they can apply for open jobs at other stores or accept a severance package.
