The Staples in Boone is downsizing and space in the building is available for lease.

A sign outside Staples advertises 9,376 square feet of space for lease. The Providence Group out of Charlotte is the investment group managing the property. The sign also states that Staples is “here to stay.”

The general manager of the Boone location acknowledged that the local Staples was downsizing, however she directed questions to the corporate office.

Last year, Staples corporate office announced that it was closing 225 U.S. stores by 2016 and would downsize additional stores to a new 12,000-square-foot format.

Calls and emails to brokers with the Providence Group went unreturned.
