The history of the brand

Bob Hurwitz and Michael Feuer established OfficeMax in Cleveland, Ohio, on 1 April 1988. As a basic concept, OfficeMax began in 1988. The company has been leading the U.S. supply industry in just over five years and generated annual sales of over $2 trillion by 1995 and good profit by 1993. Despite intense competition and an economic recession that started in the late 1980s and lasted throughout the early 1990s, the business achieved this stunning success. In the 1990s, other supermarket retailers borrowed the company's knowledgeable selling, distributing, managing, and financial structures and strategies.
