Our company operates in North America through eCommerce and direct sales and is headquartered near Boston, Massachusetts.
Staples, Inc. was born out of a real human need. Our founder Tom Stemberg was working on a business proposal and needed a ribbon for his printer but couldn’t find one because his local dealer was closed for the 4th of July. Out of frustration and the need of many small businesses for critical supplies, an idea for an office supply superstore was born. The first store was opened in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston in 1986. The rest is history.
Today we are a company of more than 13,000 smart, insightful experts who are driven to make business easier for our customers. For over 35 years, Staples, Inc. Has helped people work better and smarter in a world that seems like it’s never the same from one day to the next.
We offer all the supplies a business needs to operate, far beyond the paper ink and toner we’re known for. We are experts in technology and conferencing equipment, cleaning products, furniture, breakroom items like snacks and coffee, too.
