While I was at OfficeMax, I worked at a location that was closed back in 2003 and when we did it you could only get the hot deals on the displays and clearance merchandise. The regular merchandise was all boxed up and transferred to either local stores or the main delivery distribution center (in the case of chairs and furniture). They minght bbe running things differently with this round of closings.
The weird thing about them closing the Lynnwood, WA location is I always remember it being a pretty high volume location and it had the big regional CopyMax hub where the big, complicated print jobs got sent to. Heck, when I was with OM the regional manager has her office in that store. If they are closing that location, which was one of their crown jewels, they really must be hurting as a company.
