This Staples shrunk!
Maybe this happened awhile ago. I'm not sure. All I know is that, growing up in town, this Staples took up the entire square building next to the Walmart and the McDonalds on the Black Horse Pike. Now, years later, I need printer paper, ink and folders and -- tada -- there's a SLEEPY'S taking up some of the building!
Instead of the entrance being on the corner, it has moved down a bit. The store is a tinier version of its former self, but fortunately, it still sold printer paper, ink and folders. It also seemed to sell all other basic office supplies. I only know as such because I went up and down nearly every single aisle -- sometimes multiple times -- searching high and low for the folders. I could not find them to save my life, and there was not one person on the floor to assist me in my quest. Signs were not particularly helpful either.
It appears that no upgrading was done to the building when the consolidation happened -- whenever that was. Unlike the Cherry Hill location, which was under renovations as of my last visit, this Staples looks like it's out of the early 2000's. It could really use a boost of fresh air.
Out in the parking lot, a guy had his car door swung wide open -- successfully taking up two parking spots -- for the duration of my visit. He casually watched me walk back to my car and it was a little unnerving.
Yep, I think I'll stick to the Cherry Hill location in the future. read more
