Retail Archaeology asks 'What Is Going On At Staples?' A tale of the Retail Apocalypse

Change of plans — instead of the next installment of my examination of the Emmy nominees, I'm shifting to the Retail Apocalypse with Erik of Retail Archaeology asking What Is Going On At Staples?

In this episode of Retail Archaeology we take a look at Staples.
Mitt Romney was on the board of directors? At least the involvement of Bain Capital didn't result in Staples suffering the fates of KB Toys and Toys R Us. Instead, it might be Sycamore Partners who could be another example of private equity contributing to the continuation of the Retail Apocalypse, although that shoe may not drop for Staples until 2029. May I still be blogging then.

That's a wrap for the Retail Apocalypse today. Come back tomorrow as I plan on posting an entry about the nominees for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Stay tuned.
