  • Office Depot will close its Falls of Neuse Road location on Saturday, June 21.
  • This is the second Triangle Office Depot to close since December 2024.
  • Customers can shop discounted inventory at the store until its final day of business.

The parking lot of The Falls Centre shopping center was quiet and almost empty one weekday morning in late May. And it’s about to get even quieter.

One of the anchor tenants of the shopping center, the popular office supplies retailer Office Depot, is closing soon — Saturday, June 21, a store employee told The News & Observer. The employee declined to give a reason for the closure.

Office Depot has been closing stores across the country over the past year, including in the Triangle. The Cary location on Walnut Street closed in December.

After the store at 4500 Falls of Neuse Road closes, Office Depot will have four Triangle stores across Raleigh, Durham, Apex and Morrisville.

Customers can now take advantage of the going-out-of-business sale, with items up to 60% off.

Triangle Business Journal first reported on the Office Depot closure.

The Falls Centre houses retailers including Domino’s Pizza and Wild Birds Unlimited.

Stores closing in Raleigh

Office Depot is not the only Raleigh store to shut its doors soon.

  • A store-closing sale is ongoing at Carolina Direct Furniture on Glenwood Avenue. The family-owned furniture store has been in business for more than 40 years, and after all inventory and merchandise is liquidated, the owner will retire.
  • Walgreens is closing two Triangle stores — in Raleigh and Durham — in June. The Raleigh location at 4309 Wake Forest Road will close Thursday, June 26, and the last day for the Durham store at 1505 Broad St. will be Tuesday, June 24. These stores are closing as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs, facing “increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures.”
