What is a fanlisting? A fanlisting is a website that devotes itself to a certain subject matter (TV show, actor/ actress, characters, etc.) and asks others from all over to join in and show the world that they're a fan, too! |

About Staples stores... Staples, Inc. is the world's largest office supply retail store chain, with over 1,700 stores worldwide, including stores in the United States, Belgium, Canada (as Staples Business Depot or Bureau en Gros in Quebec), Argentina and Brazil (as Officenet), China, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands (as Office Centre), Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In the first quarter of 2007, India became the newest country to have Staples locations. Staples, Inc. sells popular office supplies used in businesses and schools, while also selling electronics and furniture. The company's first store was opened in Brighton, Massachusetts in 1986. The company is headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. It also does business via the Internet, through its website. The idea for Staples was spawned in 1985, while founder Thomas G. Stemberg was working on a proposal for a different business. He needed a ribbon for his printer, but was unable to obtain one because his local dealer was closed for the Independence Day holiday. A frustration with the reliance on small stores for critical supplies combined with Stemberg's background in the grocery business led to a vision for an office supply superstore.[1] The first store was opened in Brighton, MA in 1986. The second store was opened in Woburn, MA and is the oldest store. The 500th store was opened in Vero Beach, Florida in 1996. Staples' goal is to open at least 100 new stores in the United States yearly, putting Staples in areas of the country that are currently dominated by competition. |
