Office supply company Staples has built a new coworking partnership with SmartBooks, an outsourced accounting and business services firm.
Dubbed Staples Connect, the new concept will reinvent traditional stores with community event spaces, coworking, podcast studios, and support for small businesses, such as tax and accounting services.
The coworking side, Staples Studio, has already been rolled out in a number of stores across Massachusetts and Canada, with a store in New York set to open in Spring 2020.
