I guess that's the closest location, but I thought that was the dumbest thing I'd ever saw.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-25026916172794816862015-02-05T10:16:27.521-05:002015-02-05T10:16:27.521-05:00More and more office supply stores are closing and...More and more office supply stores are closing and I now find myself driving out of my way to pick up a few things. I agree with the other person: sometimes you want to see the merchandise before you buy it. Sometimes I only need some labels and some highlighters, not enough to place a delivery order. And deliveries can be a pain in our office due to strange hours and key card access.<br /><br />The Office Depot on Peachtree Industrial is still open but the customer service there makes you wanna jump in front of a train.<br /><br />Costco is a good alternative for some things but you have to buy larger quantities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-17665518484783785762015-02-05T05:50:40.994-05:002015-02-05T05:50:40.994-05:00It's always nice to be able to see, feel, and ...It's always nice to be able to see, feel, and touch the merchandise, and take it home with you IMMEDIATELY. It would be unfortunate if all physical storefronts disappeared, but that sure seems to be what the trend is.<br /><br />I guess Office Depot-Max will eventually be called Staples-Depot-Max.

We also lost the Office Max on Northpoint Pkwy (soon to be an REI), so our office supply places are dwindling.

T...@Anon RE: Staples near Phipps / Varasano's,<br /><br />The Staples on Peachtree across from Phipps Plaza closed a couple months ago. Signs on the door direct customers to their "nearby" location on Ponce de Leon Avenue in midtown.<br /><br />Varasano's took over the former Doctor's Vision Works as well as a small portion of the former Hudson Grille. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments and readership.Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-44043504719390059162015-02-04T11:01:47.119-05:002015-02-04T11:01:47.119-05:00That leaves only the Staples across the Phipps any...That leaves only the Staples across the Phipps anywhere in the Chamblee/Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area really (and that's almost to what I would call Buckhead, actually).<br /><br />What spots in Perimeter Mall did the Varasano's take over?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-22769236014342363682015-02-04T10:17:34.921-05:002015-02-04T10:17:34.921-05:00In regards to the former comment, the Staples in S...In regards to the former comment, the Staples in Snellville along the popular Scenic Highway also closed a few months back. I wonder what's going on with Staples.<br /><br />Also, I am really shocked about the closing of American Eagle at Gwinnett Place Mall. Because AE is such a staple store that is found in both higher and lower end malls, I thought it wouldn't be closing anytime soon.

I worked near Gwinnett Place a few years ago and remember when that area was really nice, so it’s sad to see how it’s deteriorated. Also, I remember my parents would take us to Aldo’s back when it was still an Italian place for birthdays and stuff. Of course I have to admit I haven’t been near Gwinnett Place or eaten at Aldo’s in years and apparently no one else has either. <br />Hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-36264118518585597422015-02-04T08:46:20.810-05:002015-02-04T08:46:20.810-05:00Staples at The Prado in Sandy Springs has closed.Staples at The Prado in Sandy Springs has closed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
