Well first of all, Office Depot and Office Max became the same company back in 2013, so stores from those two are almost complety the same now. Staples stores are very similar in that they sell almost all the same brands as OD OM, but tend to have higher prices and less selection.

Both chains offer a similar mix of products. You may see one favorite line in one chain (e.g., Forey pens in Office Depot/Office Max) or the other (e.g., Next electronics accessories in Staples). That is mostly a matter of preference. Both chains offer a wider assortment of products online.

Staples tried to buy all of Office Depot for more than $2 billion in January, but Office Depot rebuffed those efforts. Office Depot's business-to-business unit comprised about half its $10 billion in sales last year.

In ance with the terms of the merger agreement, OfficeMax shareholders will receive 2.69 shares of Office Depot, Inc. common stock in exchange for each share of OfficeMax common stock. OfficeMax is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Office Depot, Inc. and will no longer be publicly traded.
