TORONTO, Ont. – Business store chain Office Depot plans to shut down its eight remaining Canadian stores in June.

The company cites “tough retail business in this country” for the decision to close the doors.

A total of 180 employees will be laid off as a result.

The company, however, will still sell to the Canadian market through their online store at officedepot.ca.

The first Canadian store opened in 1992.
