Staples, the office supply store located at 3200 E. Agency Street, Suite 140, will officially close its doors on January 2. Store Manager Micah Jackson of Burlington confirmed the closure on Wednesday.
Jackson says staff have already begun marking down inventory, including office chairs, demo items, and products brought out from back storage. In addition to closeout pricing, customers can expect coupon deals to be added into the mix. Beginning next week, shoppers visiting the store will receive coupon flyers as part of the final sale push.
He encourages customers to stop by and take advantage of the discounts while they last.
According to Jackson, the decision to close the Burlington location was not tied to store performance. Instead, the store’s lease was put up for bid.
There is speculation that a Five Below specialty discount retailer may move into the space, but neither the corporation nor local officials have confirmed those plans.
Staples first opened in the area in 1997 at its former location on 104 W. Agency Road in West Burlington.
