Place
Omni-channel Retail Network
Staples runs ~1,200 U.S. and Canada stores (2025), placed in high-traffic commercial and suburban zones to act as immediate fulfillment centers and service hubs for urgent B2B needs.
In 2024, store-based pickup accounted for 28% of e-commerce orders, speeding delivery to same-day in many metro areas and reducing last-mile cost per order by ~12% versus ship-only models.
Staples Advantage B2B Platform
The Staples Advantage B2B platform serves medium-to-large enterprises with a dedicated portal offering customized procurement workflows, contract pricing, and dedicated account management; in 2024 Staples reported commercial sales of $5.1 billion, with Staples Advantage handling a significant share of enterprise contracts. The platform streamlines complex ordering and large-scale distribution, improving procurement cycle times by up to 30% in reported client pilots and reducing maverick spend through centralized contracts.
E-commerce and Mobile Integration
Staples.com offers a full digital storefront with advanced search and AI-driven recommendations; site traffic reached 220 million visits in 2024, boosting online sales to $3.1 billion that year.
By 2025 the Staples mobile app is the primary tool for inventory tracking and quick reorders, driving 48% of digital transactions and reducing B2B reorder time by 35%.
The 24/7 digital presence supports professional convenience—mobile monthly active users hit 4.2 million in 2024, improving customer retention and average order value.

Staples has built a hybrid delivery model—its own fleet plus third-party logistics—to offer next-day delivery in ~85% of US urban ZIP codes as of 2025, cutting lead times vs. pure e-commerce rivals.
That distribution muscle is a competitive moat: reliable fulfillment reduces customer downtime for mission-critical office supplies, supporting higher B2B retention and driving average order frequency.
In-Store Service Centers
Staples places dedicated service zones like Tech Services and Print & Marketing inside stores to create a destination for professional support, driving 2024 same-store traffic increases where service-led stores outperformed by ~3.2% per Chain Store Age reports.
These centers deliver value-added, in-person services—device repair, custom printing, marketing consults—that e-commerce can’t match, contributing to higher transaction values (average $46 vs $29 for web-only in 2024 company data).
Face-to-face expert consultations boost retention and upsell: Staples reported service customers had a 27% higher repeat-purchase rate in 2024, strengthening long-term customer relationships.
