The Business Depot was originally established by Jack Bingleman in 1991, with Staples as a large investor. The American counterpart ultimately acquired 100% of the Canadian company in 1994. At this point, new English supplies were opened with the "Staples, The Office Superstore" label, like their US counterparts. Later, the corporation decided to start merging the "Business Depot" and "STAPLES, The Office Superstore" brands to "STAPLES Business Depot". Between approximately 1996 and 2000, Business Depot Ltd. was operating stores under four brands: "STAPLES Business Depot", "Business Depot", "STAPLES, The Office Superstore" and "Bureau En Gros". Around 2001, Staples updated their branding, leaving just the "STAPLES Business Depot" and "Bureau En Gros" brands.
Business Depot stores maintain their own private-label brand under the name "Staples Business Depot/Bureau en Gros," which are in many circumstances repackaged Staples-branded products from the United States.
Staples Business Depot offers a broad range of office supplies, and has its departments divided into the subsequent categories: furniture, featuring seats, office desks, cabinets, banquet tables and accessories; copy centre, supplying photocopying, color printing, binding, and other document services; knowledge, featuring printers, laptops, projectors, and other technology such as calculators and cash registers; and office supplies, or "aisles," encompassing pens, papers, folders, envelopes, binders and other essential office supply needs (the predominant departments are furniture, "aisles", technology and, copy center).
Some of the superior stores also feature 24-hour copy centre services, and all suppliers feature on-site technical assistance for computers (STAPLES' Easy Tech Force).
