History of the Company
 Office Depot was founded in 1986 and opened its first store in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. In late 1987, David I. Fuente assumed the post of Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of the fledging company, and took Office Depot public in
1988.
 The Executive Team immediately began to execute an ambitious plan to expand
the Company's footprint in key U.S. markets. The results were dramatic: By the
end of 1990 Office Depot had 173 stores in 27 states.
 That same year, Office Depot announced its merger with The Office Club, Inc.,
becoming the largest office products retailer in North America.
