Staples Canada opens new working and learning store in Calgary, offering the best technology brands, workspace solutions and personalized gifts for a very different holiday season
RICHMOND HILL, ON, Nov. 18, 2020 /CNW/ -Staples Canada will open its newest Working and Learning Store in Calgary on Saturday, November 21 located at 250 East Hills Square. The new store is the first of its kind in Alberta and features an all-new modern design sensibility with an industry-leading customer experience that's tailored to meet the needs of its customers, including local entrepreneurs, parents, students, teachers and workers.
Opening ahead of the busy holiday season, the new location offers hundreds of thoughtful gift ideas for a unique season, personalized gifts at Solutionshop and the best technology brands, as well as work-from-anywhere solutions and essentials to support virtual working and learning. As with all Staples stores, the new Calgary store features a safe shopping environment with full health and safety protocols as part of Staples Canada's ShopSafe™ program.
"More Canadians are working, learning and teaching from home, and we feel its our duty to help support our community of customers with the solutions they need to stay connected," said David Boone, CEO, Staples Canada. "This new store in East Hills offers a vast product and service offering, and with many Canadians looking to get a head start on their holiday shopping, Staples Canada is a one-stop destination for thoughtful gifts."
With new workspace solutions, tech and connect stations, writing zones and more, the latest Calgary location provides an in-store experience that's easy to navigate and gives more opportunity to try out and interact with products.
To help maintain a safe shopping environment for its customers and work environment for its associates, Staples Canada has implemented a national ShopSafe™ program. The health and safety program includes extensive cleaning protocols, personal protective equipment requirements for associates and customers, and sanitation stations throughout its stores. To further enable physical distancing in-store, customers can also queue in a digital line through the ShopSafe App to reduce time physically standing in line in-store.
"We are aware of the efforts Canadians are making to protect themselves and their loved ones throughout the pandemic," added Boone. "Our ShopSafe program and e-commerce offerings provide a safe shopping experience, allowing customers to shop completely from home or safely in-store."
