This is interesting. (And the first real scoop for Nova!)
In Ontario, Office Depot is getting whacked by Staples, which are sprouting all over the place like Tribbles.
OD also has a pretty useless store-within-a-store concept for Home Electronics (Samsung stuff, I believe.)
Nobody goes to Office Depot to buy a Plasma screen. If OD built in an Apple Store-within-a-store concept, this could be big for both sides. Really Big.
