OfficeMax was founded in 1988 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Michael Feuer. On July 5 of that year, OfficeMax opened its first retail store in the Golden Gate Shopping Center in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. The company grew by acquisition, including its 1990 takeover of Office Square stores, previously owned by Kmart, in exchange for a 22% equity stake. In 1991, Kmart increased its stake in OfficeMax to 92% and the company acquired BizMart, its largest acquisition to date, in 1992. For the next ten years OfficeMax and its rivals, Staples and Office Depot, continued to open new stores, saturating the market segment. Today, OfficeMax is a leader in both business-to-business office products solutions and retail office products. The Office Max mission is simple.
