Massachusetts shoppers will have one less retail store as a shopping option. At this point, the closing of brick-and-mortar stores around Massachusetts is the norm, sadly. With the change in shopping habits paired with people trying to seek out the best deals possible, it's hard for businesses to compete with the internet and keep their doors open.

Massachusetts-based office supply retail company Staples will be shutting its doors in Pittsfield this Friday, Dec. 13. The store located at 555 Hubbard Avenue inside of Berkshire Crossing won't be renewing its lease, and as such many store items have big discounts which works out for anyone looking to purchase some items this holiday season.

Throughout the years I have purchased many items from Staples including computer equipment, office chairs, art supplies, and more. Plus, using the UPS center inside of the Pittsfield store has been very convenient. It will be sad to see this location leave town. However, the closing shouldn't come as a surprise given the current climate we're in. The Staples in Westfield closed in October of 2023.

Acton (1)
