With a smorgasbord of writing, fastening, stamping, and sticking tools, Staples has dominated the school supply scene since you had that sweet Trapper Keeper in third grade. Catering to your now more sophisticated needs, Staples also offers a diverse selection of professional office supplies and electronic devices. In the basement, the tech center sells phones, accessories, and plans from Cingular, AT&T, Sprint, and Nextel. Although the selection isn't too impressive, the staff is knowledgeable about the wireless world, and the many store rebates (some redeemable
online) make prices considerably more attractive.
Staples is the biggest, cheapest, and yes, most comprehensive office supply store in the Square. Staples has more than just staples—computer paper, ink cartridges, scotch tape, blank CDs, and paper shredders abound. They also have a full-service copy center that binds, laminates, faxes, copies, and even prints business cards (hey, it's never too soon). Copies start at 6¢, color copies $1.04. Faxing $1 per page.
