Finally, both Staples and Office Depot have realized that their office products superstores can fit inside the Loop. Both have operated downtown stores elsewhere for years, but have recently signed leases in the State-Wabash corridor (oddly, not the real center of office space but likely the only area with large enough retail floorplates): Staples in the old Sym’s space at Wabash & Washington and Office Depot in the Toys ‘R’ Us space on State south of Madison.
