geared   268 #13 Posted February 7, 2017 I'm surprised they've kept going for this long, it's a really weird setup when you think about it.  A (very) large store, essentially geared towards selling to business customers. Except no business customers use the place because the prices are too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Berberis   10 #14 Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks Jeffrey, I have a stationary fetish and I love the occasional look around the staples store. Was a bit miffed when I heard it might close and so I have been avoiding it.  You re not alone  My favourite aisle in any Tesco etc is the stationary aisle.

Except no business customers use the place because the prices are too high.  Or too busy to go shopping in an old fashioned way. Everyone buys online these days.

sheffandy   24 #21 Posted February 12, 2017 I had a wander in a couple of weeks ago and was surprised that they even stock washing detergent, bleach, cleaning products. Quite a range they have of stuff, even foodstuffs like bulk tins of coffee etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

AmberLeaf   10 #23 Posted February 19, 2017 Massively overpriced.  Totally agree. I prefer Pinders, WH Smiths and Carsons on West St. The latter being my favourite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
