Staples will keep its main office for Staples Promotional Products in Overland Park, Kansas, the Overland Park Chamber Economic Development Council reported. In addition, the company plans to add up to several dozen jobs at the office over the next five years.

“We are pleased that Staples, a leading Fortune 500 company, will continue to grow its promotional products division headquarters here in Overland Park,” said Beth Johnson, senior vice president of economic development for the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Council. “Staples Promotional Products recognizes Overland Park as being the address for business and we look forward to their continued success in the community.”

Overland Park will remain the location for the primary administrative offices for Staples Promotional Products, the largest promotional product distributor in North America and a business division of Staples Advantage. Between its Staples Promotional Products and Staples Advantage offices, the company employs hundreds in Kansas and anticipates several million in capital investment in Overland Park over the next five years.

“I’m excited that Staples is taking advantage of the strong business environment that we are building in the state,” said Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George. “They are going to employ Kansans and make a significant capital investment here, which is a great thing for the state’s economy.”
