Staples Announces Acquisition of Office Depot - Paperclips and pencils everywhere rejoice

[Gmod4ever]

Here my friends and I were wondering if Staples had gone under or something, since there's like 4 Office Depots within an hour of here, and none of us had seen a Staples for at least the past 6 years.

Obviously not. :v:

[QUOTE=usaokay;47078376]When Gamestop bought out eb Games, the eb Games across the street from my Gamestop turned into a Gamestop.

It was like that for five years or so until the old eb Games's location turned into a Yogurtland.[/QUOTE]

The mall at the other end of town had a gamestop and eb games. Since then there's been 2 eb games in that mall.

There was also a Funco Land across the street. Dunno when gamestop bought them but they did. So now there's 3 in a very small area, 2 of which are in the same mall.

Note: google maps seems to have tagged the mall itself as well.

Also I guess that southern one is in another state technically... you can see the state line on this map. And New Hampshire has no sales tax, Massachusetts does. Dunno why that southern one is still in business. Its probably for inventory reasons.

Some food for thought on the 25 hour cap.

Alright, so now what competition do they have left? After the Office Max/Office Depot merger, now those into Staples.

[QUOTE=deathmog;47107258]Yuck, my store hasn't sold anything Martha Stewart branded in like a year. Or unless it goes on clearance for like 50 cents.
I like the Poppin stuff but nobody buys that either, and the Cynthia Crowley stuff looks like shit mixed with barf.[/QUOTE]

The poppin stuff is just too expensive.

Yeah honestly the whole reflow a few months back hasn't been successful tbh, we don't sell very much from those new aisles.

Although my store is between a Home Depot and a Shop Rite sooo
