Staples Canada Inc. (also known as Bureau en Gros in Quebec) is an office supply retail chain owned by Sycamore Partners and have their headquarters in Richmond Hill, Ontario. It is currently the largest office supply chain in Canada founded by Jack Bingleman.
History of Staples Canada
Staples Canada Inc. is first known as The Business Depot Ltd. that was established in 1991 by Bingleman. He later opened Bureau en Gros in 1993 that is located in Quebec.
In 1994, the American equivalent bought the entire Canadian business. The company now started opening stores under the same name as the American counterpart ‘Staples: The Office Superstore.’
Staples later changed the name for the English-speaking market to ‘Staples Business Depot’ and retained the same name ‘Bureau en Gros.’ The conversion is completed in 2001.
In 2008, the company dropped the ‘Business Depot’ in their name to avoid confusion with its competitor Office Depot. The decision was due to 2 reasons – first was to make the US and international stores carry the same name and to use the same merchandise packaging.
This eliminates the use of packaging dedicated to the Canadian market only, including those of Bureau en Gros. In the same year, the company acquired Corporate Express where it caters to larger corporations and now named ‘Staples Business Advantage.’
A decade later, the Canadian office store company revealed a new logo and slogan: ‘Work. Learn. Grow’ in 2018. In the same year, Staples Canada launches in Toronto and Kirkland two new brand-defining stores.
