After passing hands through a few owners, Officeworks expanded greatly. In late 2006, Officeworks opened its 100th store in South Yarra. By mid-2013, the stores numbered over 150. Officeworks is known for its great prices and great service when it comes to their customers. They aim to offer the best of technology and paper goods, and operate as a low-cost warehouse, with high hopes similar to that of its sister company Bunnings Warehouse.
Officeworks stays on top of its customer’s needs by keeping a close eye on their inventory. They are said to check shelf offerings in every store twice daily so they can order before they are low on stock. Their discount prices come from great deals they get by buying in bulk. They then pass those savings on to their business and home-based customers across Australia.Officeworks Catalogue
