specially tailored business services, solutions and products

must wear many hats, some of which keep them up at night," said

president and president of Retail at OfficeMax. "We want
local businesses to know that they don't have to go it alone. Every
step of the process – from formalizing your business to setting up
your office and website to marketing – OfficeMax can be your
partner."
Business services are the core of the new destination, which
features an integrated service counter staffed by business
solutions specialists who can offer services to meet customers'
business-critical needs in marketing, IT and web solutions,
including web hosting, customized web sites and cloud storage; and
also computer services including network setup, software
installation and repair. Business community space within the store
lets customers hold informal meetings, network or simply bring in
their laptop to plug in and work. Free Wi-Fi is available
throughout the store.
The store provides a portfolio of services to meet marketing and
promotional support needs with printing of business cards, business
stationery and envelopes, signs, banners, posters and custom
printing requirements. Business services including furniture and
