Amazon to take Gaithersburg Office Depot Location

 

This is a MOCOSHOW announcement...

 

Office Depot to Close on November 15th, Amazon Taking Over

 

A couple weeks back we were told Office Depot in Gaithersburg would be closing permanently and that something Amazon-related would be taking over (based on a few Office Depot employees we spoke to).

Now we know that the official closing date is November 15th. Office Depot is currently offering up to 30% off of everything in the store.

On the Amazon side of things, earlier this week the Washington Business Journal reported that an “Amazon grocery store” would be moving in.

Amazon Fresh Pickup, a drive-in-type grocery store for Amazon Prime subscribers, is a likely possibility. It’s a delivery service that lets users shop online, reserve  times to pick up the groceries, and have them loaded into their cars at the store.

Good morning Roy. The office depot in the River North neighborhood of downtown Chicago is also closing but my guess is the property will be used for development of a larger project. Enjoy your day!

Good morning, Roy... I, for one, would be checking out the good buys at Office Depot right now... although I do most of my office supply shopping on-line.

Hi Roy, sounds like a very convenient way to shop. Is this going to add jobs to the local economy or take then away. I'm hoping we can add new job with this opening. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Roy - there was a recent opening of an Amazon Fresh in the Los Angeles area.  Retailing along with commercial real estate is changing rapidly.

I suspect that Amazon could repurpose a lot of shuttered business space into distribution centers.
