Office Max pothole update

The Snooze has learned a few facts which shed additional light on the pothole situation at Office Max.

According to a well-placed insider, after Office Max was built in 1998 the company sold the land and building to a property management company, and entered into a lease agreement. Unfortunately the management company, which  seems to have changed ownership more than once since that time, is refusing to pay to fix the pothole problem, as well as other issues, despite repeated requests to do so by the Office Max corporate office. Because all Office Max stores are corporately owned, it’s likely that the local manager doesn’t have the authority to just hire someone to fix the entrance.

According to the source, this problem has been going on for many months, and may eventually require legal action to get the problem taken care of. When it takes lawyers to fix a pothole, you know it’s bad.

I will no longer be avoiding Office Max, I just might have to drive through Target to get there. I encourage our readers to do the same. I’m sure they can use all the business they can get.
