National Retailer Closing Store In Norwalk

NORWALK, CT — One of the city's two Staples locations is set to close later this summer, according to signs posted at the store this week.

On Monday, signs could be seen both outside and posted inside the store, located at 654 Main Avenue, announcing "this store is closing on [Aug. 8, 2025]."

The Staples store is located in a shopping plaza that also houses a Walmart, as well as other businesses such as Ulta Beauty and Panera Bread.

A sign posted near the exit of the store noted Staples was "still here for" Norwalk customers and encouraged them to visit their other location in the city at 420-440 Westport Avenue.

The signs did not provide any further information as to why the Main Avenue store was closing.

A request for comment from Staples was not immediately returned Monday.

The Main Avenue store is currently open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the company's website.
