Staples

T It's about an experiential reason to come into our stores. We're so excited to introduce our new Staples Connect store. We're starting Staples Connect in six stores across the greater Boston area and we really transformed all of them. We had customers line up at 6 a. m. for an 8 a. m. opening. We've had customers who walk in the store. They stop, they walk back out, and they look up to see if they're still in a Staples store. 50% of our store is dedicated to products with the other 50% dedicated to services. Here it's about experience. We want customers to feel and touch and engage with the product. So we've brought in 40 new vendors including Sonos and Apple, over a thousand new SKUs that allow us to make sure that we have the products that our customers are looking for here This is a new day so we're talking co-working, we're talking podcasting, we're talking spotlight space for local community events, and then still all the products I'm excited about the overall environment. We offer TSA in our stores, learning spaces, interactive spaces, but also products that are aimed at solving problems. So when customers come in it's not just about a Sharpie, a It's about getting their life's work done inside of Staples. The purpose of Staples Connect is to reach a new customer, a customer that's got a curiosity, an endless curiosity, and a t I'm excited to help launch Staples Connect because it'such a great community environment where people can come together, work together. We at Flower and at Myers & Chang use Staples for our print services, and now there's a community space. It's a really great way to grow your small business. T And we're able to have a partner It's just a whole new retail experience. It's not the finish line, t So t
