Staples Coming To Town
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Staples, the Wal-Mart equivalent in the office supplies market, is coming to Warsaw.
The east coast-based company will construct a superstore in the Wal-Mart plaza, according to a spokesman for the company.
Staples, which recorded $4 billion in sales last year, is in the midst of a massive expansion that includes construction of 160 stores within a 12-month span. The company has 649 stores throughout North America and specializes in discounted brand name office products, supplies, furniture and computer equipment.
On Monday, the company's design plans were approved by Warsaw Plan Commission. The store will be located in a lot on the west end of the shopping center near Commerce Drive.
As is the case in many of the markets Staples is expanding into, it will compete with a handful of small office supply companies.
The company is expected to employ about 40 people and is looking at opening in the spring of 1998.
Staples' efforts to open new stores comes after federal regulators turned down an attempt by the company to buy its chief competitor, Office Depot. [[In-content Ad]]
