Office Depot eyeing Nashua

Office Depot, the world’s No. 2 office supply store, is renovating the inside of the former Kids R Us location in Nashua to make way for a new store.

Nashua Planning Director Roger Houston said Office Depot has applied for a sign permit and has already received a building permit to renovate the interior of the 20,000-square-foot building at 270 Daniel Webster Highway.

Office Depot spokesman Brian Levine said he would not confirm a store-opening date or any other information, citing “competitive reasons for this particular market.”

South Nashua is already home to two office supply retailers — Staples, the No. 1 office supplier, and Office Max.
