Monrovia’s Office Depot Closing

According to Monrovia’s City Manager’s Report, Monrovia Office Depot will be closing, effective May 16. It was also shared with staff that the closure had nothing to do with Staples buying out Office Depot, but rather, the decision was made based on other factors. City staff is working to coordinate a meeting with the regional real estate manager for Office Depot to obtain some additional information regarding the site, and they are also making plans to reach out to the property owner to discuss how they might take advantage of this opportunity to locate a new user into the center. Furthermore, staff is in the process of developing marketing materials for the site for use during the upcoming ICSC Convention in May 2015.
