"Our store layout is designed to help customers accomplish more in one trip -- from buying office supplies to taking care of their printing needs. We want to be the preferred destination for everyone in the area."

New Locations and Products When OfficeMax opens new retail stores, it means more than just plain office supplies. OfficeMax brings a full range of products, services and programs that help business professionals, teachers and anyone who just needs to get their work done. Following are just some of the benefits of a new OfficeMax retail store:

-- OfficeMax "End of Rebates" Program. OfficeMax has eliminated virtually all mail-in rebates from our stores.

OfficeMax customers now enjoy special product discounts without the hassles of mail-in rebates.

-- A Complete Range of Options for Ink and Toner needs. OfficeMax offers a full line of ink and toner cartridges, including manufacturer or private label. OfficeMax also refills printer ink cartridges, using a computerized kiosk that analyzes the cartridge before and after filling. For further convenience and to promote environmentally responsible practices, OfficeMax offers a cartridge recycling option.

For each qualified cartridge recycled, OfficeMax provides a $3.00 instant discount on any in-store purchase.

-- MaxPerks for Teachers and MaxPerks for Business. MaxPerks for Teachers allows teachers to earn $10 in MaxPerks rewards for every $75 purchase in qualifying merchandise up to $100 in MaxPerks rewards annually.
