STAPLES
HISTORY OF STAPLES
Staples was founded by Thomas Stemberg and Leo Kahn back in 1985. The story behind its existence is quite interesting, Stemberg was working on a project but could not find ribbon for his printer, because the local shop in his area was not operating due to Independence Day.
He got very frustrated and wondered why do people rely so much on these small local shops when it comes to office supplies. Stemberg already had a background in grocery business, so the frustration and experience led him into envisioning a superstore for office supplies. Hence, next year, in 1986, Staples first ever store started operating in Boston.
By 1992, Staples had stores opening in the Europe and opened its first ever British store in Swansea. Now by early 2000’s, Staples has more than 1300 stores operating all over in the metropolitan areas. It was also located in small markets in more than 45 states. Apart from being one of the largest office supply stores, it also started providing delivery services, which would supply internet and office supplies to different large sized and medium sized organizations.
