Staples accelerates store closures as office-supplies demand shifts online
Staples announced two more store closures in Goleta, California, and Levittown, New York, in August 2026 as part of a broader effort to shrink its U.S. footprint amid declining demand for traditional office supplies and a shift toward digital channels and services; the retailer has reduced its U.S. store count from about 929 in 2015 to roughly 916 by early 2026, signaling ongoing consolidation in the office-supplies market.
