Staples at Staples Corner…

[edit]

Anyone know if the presence of the Staples office supply company outlet is pure coincidence, clever marketing, or some mix of both? I’d not known about the previous mattress factory mentioned in the article, so are the two related in any way? Whatever the reason it might be worth pointing out that present business on the site of that name is not the reason that the corner got its name. Jock123 (talk) 15:56, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

As already stated in the article, "Staples Corner is named after the Staples Mattress factory, which was at the road junction from 1926 to 1986". That Staples the stationers has a store nearby is pure coincidence—they're an American firm which took over the English chain Office World a few years ago and renamed all their stores to the Staples brand, including the one at Staples Corner.  iridescent 16:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
