South Lake Tahoe Staples reportedly closing in June

Staples may soon follow in the steps of Office Depot and become the second stationery "box store" to close its doors in South Lake Tahoe.

Even though unconfirmed with the corporate offices, employees at the store said they will be closing their doors on June 4, 2016. When South Tahoe Now spoke to store management we were referred to the corporate offices who have not returned calls.

In 2014, Staples closed 225 stores including the one on Jacks Valley Road in the Carson Valley. If the South Lake Tahoe location does close, the nearest location for those seeking a Staples will be in Reno.

At one time, South Lake Tahoe was home to both an Office Depot and a Staples at the "Y" end of town. Office Depot closed 200 locations in 2014 but by then the local location had been closed and since turned into a CVS Pharmacy.
