While sales of online and catalog channels have continued to grow, our retail stores still represent nearly 75% of total revenues. Part of our mission, "to slash the cost and hassle of running your office," means we need to be where our customers need us. So Staples keeps building. The company opens an average of one new store every three days in the United States, the UK, Canada, and Germany.

Using our sophisticated site selection models, real estate research analyzes numerous factors to identify locations that have high sales potential and low risk of cannibalizing existing Staples stores. With sound reasoning and managed growth opening a store in North Conway, New Hampshire can prove to be just as profitable as opening a store in New York City or London.
