We Love Durham NC

Auto Zone

Over in that shopping center on University Drive near MLK where the K-mart is–the one I think everyone calls the K-mart Plaza–where the old, small El Rodeo used to be, there was a Pier 1 Imports forever. It used to be the best place to buy holiday gifts for girlfriends, but then Durham grew more shopping options. Then they made it a Pier 1 Imports Outlet. Then I think they moved that over near Southpoint. But anyway, it’s a big orange Auto Zone now, and I am as happy as could be. I asked for two things in SW Durham (and one of them was not a Dunkin Donuts): an auto supply store and a nice office supply store (perhaps one that has a red logo and is named after an office supply, but only if Not Just Paper won’t open a branch).

   What’s wrong with Office Depot? I shop at NJP for alot of things, but if you need toner cartridges or furniture, the Depot suits me fine.

   I can never find what I need at either Office Depot or Office Max. It sometimes seems they are selling down stock to close. I’m glad it works for you, though!

   There’s an office supply store named after an office product that keeps papers together at North Duke Crossing, on the Duke Street side. It’s been there at least five years. So…does that fulfill one of your desires? It’s pretty handy…with a large, progressive, membership warehouse store between the office product-named store and a depot of office supplies in the strip center at Northgate. Presumably, you’d find whatever you would need along this 3-mile corridor.

   PS: As for being on the SW side, you could always go to the red logoed, office product-named store in Chapel Hill (good excuse to hit the Trader Joe’s).

   HaHA! I like it. Both red-logo’ed locations are a tad too far, though I’ve resorted to either in time of need.
