Office 1 Superstores International Inc. is a franchise retail store chain which sells office products and supplies including office furniture and electronics. Office 1 currently operates in twenty-six countries with over 600 stores. The company is headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida. The company uses multiple channels of distribution including office products and stationery retail stores, telemarketing, catalog, direct mail, business to business, e-commerce and contract sales. The logo of Office 1 implies the company slogan: All your office needs under one roof.[1]

The company was founded in 1989, with the first store located in Spain. Throughout the 1990s, the company expanded their operations to Europe and Asia, and to Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean from 2002-2007. In total, the chain operates over 600 stores. Office 1 is headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida, and its Eurasian headquarters are located in Sofia, Bulgaria. Oddly, the chain does not operate any stores in its current home country, the United States. The reason being is there was a small chain of stores in the US and it filed for bankruptcy,not being able to compete in secondary markets with Office Max,Staples and Office Depot. The US chain was the forerunner of the International group and the developer of the Office 1 Logo and several of the features seen in the overseas stores

November, 2009 Office 1 Superstores International held a conference attended by a group of master franchisees where the company introduced plans for expanding the traditional Office 1 franchise concept to an E-Franchising type. The pilot project should be launched in France in the middle of 2010 and it will be the first Web-Franchising joint venture.
