NEW YORK CITY-The OfficeMax-Office Depot merger will cause some pain for landlords, but a stronger tenant will emerge from the marriage, says Joseph French, senior director of Marcus & Millichap's National Retail Group. He spoke with us at a recent event his firm put on in Manhattan.
French discussed:
- Whether or not the merged chains can compete with Staples.
- How retail transactions are shaping up so far this year.
- His expectations for the ICSC RECon show.
