Brad Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Got this e-mail from someone who claims to work for Staples: Most Staples, with the exceptions of those in states specifically forbidding retail operations on Thanksgiving Day (Massachusetts, ironically, Staples home state being one) will open at 9pm until 1am. Those same store will reopen at 6am Black Friday until 9pm. In those states where they can't open Thanksgiving Day the stores will open at 12:30 am and remain open until 9pm Black Friday.From the desk of Otis C. Parnnell, SVP US Retail OperationsAll hail the almighty dollar!
tinkrbel Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 interesting. wonder if it'll be the same sale or different sale for opening hours?
mcwalker Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 That's an interesting approach to let them get in with the early competition Thanksgiving evening, but allow their employees to get some sleep in the middle of the night when there would likely be a big lull in the shopping anyway. 9:00 PM is also little better than 8:00 PM or earlier (but midnight or later would be even better.) As tinkrbel asks, also curious whether they will have different doorbusters at 9 PM (or 12:30 AM), and at 6:00 AM, to try to draw shoppers back. In the past, I have usually picked up some smaller doorbusters at Staples that didn't require you to get there too quickly after they open (memory sticks, cards, anti-virus software, and such).
len_mullen Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Not Staples related, but a few years back k-mart opened on thanksgiving. We were heading to Massachusetts anyway, so I stopped by the Salem, New Hampshire store. The line was not terrible and I just walked in as they opened the doors. The place had been ransacked. They opened Wednesday because the Massachusetts stores opened Wednesday and all the door busters were sold out. There were no rain checks. Some people had been outside for hours and were very upset. I haven't stepped in the store since.
mcwalker Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Just went on Staples site to look for something. Clicking on individual stores in the find a store section has a special green posting after the regular store hours that says: Open Thanksgiving 8pm to midnight! Open Black Friday 6am to normal close.

In my experiences with their website in the past (non-Black Friday), the inventory does not update very accurately or quickly. They have recently updated their website, so maybe that has been fixed.

Tigger97498 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Ok Im interested in that Kindle Fire because it says save 80 dollars which brings it to the price of the 16 gb HD. I have had good luck with them on Black Friday online in the past. Edited November 10, 2013 by Tigger97498

kelemvor Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I hope some of these deals are available online since Staples hasn't figured out to build a store in the Metro-Milwaukee area.
