Staples Studio, the company’s co-working concept, available at stores in Brighton, Norwood and Danvers, are designed to provide a flexible work locations that can serve as a full-time office or just a workspace away from the office, all while providing access to myriad business services.

The Newton Needham Regional Chamber is already a partner at the Staples Studio in Brighton and is looking forward to the expansion into Needham, said Chamber President Greg Reibman.

“We’ve been impressed by Staples’ commitment to bringing a new innovative approach to business service to this market,” Reibman said.

“We also know there’s big demand for coworking in this market. This location – in the heart of the N-Squared Innovation District on the Newton-Needham line off of I-95 – fills a big void.” Staples’ Needham store will remain open for business during the renovations with an grand opening event projected for this November, 2019, said Stacey Helbig, director of Staples Studio.

“As part of the company’s new business model, we’re seeking local partners to be to offer their business services to customers within the Needham Newton region,” said Helbig.
