Bureau En Gros
Overview
Bureau en Gros is the Québec-branded division of Staples Canada ULC, a private Canadian office-supplies and services retailer established in 1991 and headquartered in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Operating over 300 stores across Canada, the company emphasizes a full suite of office solutions—including supplies, technology, furniture, print and marketing services, and modern coworking spaces under the Staples Studio banner.
Key Strengths
- Extensive retail presence allows for fast delivery, curbside and in-store pickup, and localized support.
- Solutionshop offers integrated business services such as print/design, tech setup, marketing, shipping, and consulting at nearly all locations.
- Innovative “Working and Learning Store” concept includes coworking amenities, community event areas, and cafés, blending retail with work, learning, and community engagement.
- Supports various customer segments—students, entrepreneurs, small to medium businesses—with tailored programs and multiple service offerings.
Considerations
- Transitioning physical retail into community hubs requires consistency in service execution—experience may vary by location.
- Mobile shopping app appears unavailable or discontinued in Canada, limiting seamless digital integration.
Final Thoughts
Bureau en Gros stands out in Québec and beyond for merging retail with workspace, education and services. For customers seeking more than stationery—like print or coworking—it is a compelling choice. To get the most out of the experience, explore local store offerings ahead of time and inquire about available Studio or Solutionshop services.
