Staples removed?

I saw a newspaper story about how Staples is planning to close many of its office-supply stores and reduce the size of the remaining ones; no word on whether the Kennett store will be affected. Staples management is saying that, like many retailers, to remain competitive they need to reduce their brick-and-mortar footprint because so much buying has shifted to the Internet. But as the Cranky Friend commented, who wants to buy a box of paperclips online? I always appreciate the helpful staff at the local Staples, too, who met the significant challenge of helping me buy and configure a new computer last year.
