How long does anyone think before all stores close in the U.S?

I can't wait until the majority of "brick and mortar" stores close. It will be sad for all the people who depend on this work, but it will be funny watching all the entitled customers' head spin. Like those customers who proudly state they only come into the store once a year to buy a calendar. I always feel like saying, "I'm so glad we kept things afloat for you this year so you could come in to buy your one item from us." People love convenience, but they hate supporting or paying for it.
All stores is a tall order since some will remain very profitable well into the future. Particularly in the North East. However less than 100 stores maybe 4 years and all in the NE.... All serviced by one warehouse.
Not sure but maybe it can be added to the "Museum of Failure".
Talk about a non-motivating blog post. Nice job Ms. CEO
My local radio station just had a Staples ad letting us all know that if you buy two reams of Staples paper you get a third ream for free. Retail now all safe for the foreseeable future.
20/20 sounds about right!!
With the current leadership, Staples will be dead and buried by the end of 2020.
I work at this store in Virginia and it's closing. Only 1 month's notice.

That depends upon how long Sycamore sticks with the current Staples leadership team.
The longer they stay, the greater the likelihood of failure as their collective track records clearly indicate.
