Staples Inc's Comment on Competitors and Industry Peers
We compete with a variety of online and traditional retailers, dealers and distributors.
As we rapidly expand our assortment of products and services, we compete with
an increasing number of competitors including mass merchants such as Walmart,
Target and Tesco, warehouse clubs such as Costco, computer and electronics retail
stores such as Best Buy, specialty technology stores such as Apple, copy and print
businesses such as FedEx Office, online retailers such as Amazon.com and other
discount retailers. In addition, our retail stores and delivery operations both
compete with traditional competitors like Office Depot and Lyreco, as well as
numerous mail order firms, contract stationers, electronic commerce distributors,
regional and local dealers and direct manufacturers. Many of our competitors have
increased their presence in our markets in recent years.
We believe we are able to compete favorably against our competitors because
of the following factors: our focus on business customers; our tenured management
team's ability to respond to the dynamic markets in which we operate and the
changing needs of our customers; courteous, helpful and knowledgeable associates
focused on making shopping easy for customers; a wide assortment of products
and services to meet every business need, either in stores or on our websites;
fast checkout; easy to use websites and mobile platforms; reliability and speed
of order shipment; convenient store locations; hassle-free returns and competitive
prices.
