Looks like another of our former clients is moving corporate headquarters to be closer to us. Ahem. Actually, we never got much business from OfficeMax, just made a few gazillion proposals and sat through a few dozen conference calls, and plane flights to Ohio, center of the universe. Probably the merger with BoiseCascade queered our progress, some key people we were talking to left the company to explore new opportunities.
OfficeMax To Choose New Chicago Headquarters:
OfficeMax Inc., the nation's third-largest office-products retailer, said Monday it intends to choose a new Chicago-area site by the end of September for an expanded corporate headquarters that also will house its retail operation now based in Ohio. ... OfficeMax was based outside Cleveland from its founding in 1988 until 2003, when it was acquired by Boise Cascade Corp. Boise Cascade then changed its name to OfficeMax, sold off its wood products business for $3.7 billion and moved its headquarters to Itasca, 20 miles northwest of Chicago, where it now has 900 employees.
