Office City Express and FriendsOffice Join Forces: What It Means for You

Published: March 16, 2026


We have exciting news to share. Office City Express has officially merged with FriendsOffice, bringing together two trusted names in office supplies and business solutions. This partnership marks a significant milestone, and more importantly, it brings a host of new benefits directly to you, our valued customers.


A Stronger Partnership Built Around You

The merger between Office City Express and FriendsOffice represents a shared commitment to delivering exceptional service, competitive pricing, and an expanded product selection to businesses of all sizes. By combining resources, expertise, and infrastructure, the newly unified company is positioned to offer customers a more powerful and seamless purchasing experience than ever before.


What's New for Customers?

Access to a Broader Product Catalog

One of the most immediate benefits of this merger is access to a significantly expanded product catalog. As a combined entity, customers can now browse and purchase from an even wider range of categories, including:

  • Office and School Supplies
  • Office Furniture and Interior Design
  • Janitorial & Facility Supplies
  • Breakroom & Food Service Supplies
  • Print & Promotional Products
  • Safety & First-aid Products
  • Industrial Supplies
  • Healthcare Supplies and Furniture
  • and more!

Whether you're outfitting a small office or managing procurement for a large organization, you'll find everything you need under one roof.


Bigger Savings & Better Pricing

The combined purchasing power of Office City Express and FriendsOffice means greater savings passed directly on to customers. Expect more competitive pricing, enhanced contract opportunities, and expanded discount programs designed to help businesses manage costs more effectively.


Faster, More Reliable Shipping

With a strengthened logistics network and expanded distribution capabilities, customers can look forward to faster delivery times and more reliable fulfillment. Getting the products you need (when you need them) just got easier.


How to Access Your New Account

Transitioning to the new unified platform is simple. Here's how to get started:

  1. Visit the FriendsOffice login page
  2. Log in using your email address and temporary password "friends"
  3. Set new, permanent password and confirm account details, including saved addresses, order history, and payment preferences
  4. Explore the expanded catalog and take advantage of your new benefits right away

If you have any questions or need assistance during the transition, the customer support team is ready to help. Please reach out. We're committed to making this process as smooth as possible for every customer.


Looking Ahead

This merger is more than a business transaction; it's a commitment to investing in better solutions for the communities and businesses that Office City Express and FriendsOffice have served for years. Customers in the Chillicothe, Ohio area and beyond can expect the same friendly, local-focused service they've always relied on, now backed by an even more robust organization.

While our name has changed, our commitment to local service remains our top priority. The same trusted people are still here, including Harold Ott, who continues to support businesses throughout the Chillicothe area.
 
By combining resources with FriendsOffice, customers now benefit from expanded services and greater support, while maintaining the personal relationships and service-first mindset Office City Express has been known for since 1985.
