Band-aid solutions close stores

I know of a store that makes the numbers and was in the top 50 in the company for customer service and the store is being closed! Their building needs repairs done, expensive repairs and their lease is due to expire... So the store is closing!!! Make sense? Nope! Had the store been properly been maintained over the years the repairs would not be so costly! But instead they just used "band aids" to fix the building issues! They do expect the customers to migrate to the other local stores, but the customers are willing to shop at Walmart and Target for their needs instead of continuing to give Staples their business! The company pushes their associates to provide good customer service, but where and when does the big shots provide good customer service and makes sure that the customers are "extremely satisfied"? This is not it!

I know exactly what store this is! It's been around for over 25 years... Still very profitable as well. This posters comments are accurate. From what I know the company agreed to some ridiculous lease agreement a few years back that put all building repairs and improvements on them. Repairs are usually the landlords responsibility but not in this case. It just again highlights the stupidity of Staples key decision makers. Best wishes to everyone at 74, Better things wait!

Guessing he/she has no clue. Any excuse to bash the company that signs your paycheck is a good one I guess.

You do know, most of the responsibility to maintain a store is usually with the landlord right?
