This week, various media sources reported that 15 Canadian Staples stores have recently closed. However, they don’t mention which locations. Yesterday, Interstratics Consultants Inc. compiled a list of recently closed Staples stores, based on its own internal research.
The list is based on a comparison between a Staples Canada store list from January 5, 2014, and what is currently featured on the company’s website. Intertratics notes that there are now 20 less stores on Staples’ website, drawing the conclusion that they may have closed this year.
Here’s a list of of those 20 locations:Â

3434 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1H 1A9 closed
Such a shame – Staples is struggling, or at least its bricks-and-mortar stores are being substantially reduced.
Staples "customer care" is an oxymoron. I foresee many more closures due to too many poor shared experiences. Bad word of mouth advertising is boding well for them.
