Since we've got a slow board going, here's a story on how well Staples is doing.
fnews.yahoo.com

In part (emphasis mine):
As of January 30, Staples operated 913 retail locations in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Germany, with 840 of those locations located domestically. Continuing its rapid expansion, approximately 150 new units are slated to open in the next year. Most of the retail locations are in the superstore format with large square footages and a high number of product offerings. The company has also been making inroads in the e-commerce and mail-order business with its recent purchase of the private Quill Corporation.

I can think of an easy way to add at least 150 stores AND make better inroads into e-commerce <g>
