Office supply chain Staples, Inc., announced it will be closing 225 stores in North America by the end of 2015 in a detailed fiscal report released Thursday. An employee at Turlock’s Staples branch confirmed Thursday that the local store will not be among those closing. It will, instead, begin a remodel this year. The fiscal report explained the closures as necessary following declines in sales from 2012 to 2013, even in regards to online sales.
