Yes. Store on Snowden is #207 and store in Columbia Crossing was #482. Source. Worked at both over a 6 year span.

Office Depot put a store where Aldi is when the Elkridge shopping center opened but it closed.

Wasn't #1053 the long gate where "corporate" was located?

Do you know why they chose to close the larger of the two? I'm sure there was a good reason, but I was surprised when it happened.

207 was a Columbia legacy store that had a long term lease and the rent was significantly cheaper than at Columbia Crossing.

They were offered right of refusal for CC when it was built and Office Depot wanted to move in so they opened a second store to stop Office Depot. They had no reason to keep it open once Elkridge was built and OD moved in.
