We reported late last month that it looked as if Staples might be getting ready to start selling Apple products in their U.S. stores and on their website. Now, it looks like that deal has come to fruition, as Staples executives are blathering about it all over the Twitter-sphere.
Tweet:
Tonight, we’d received word that Staples had a meeting today with corporate employees announcing that Apple products were coming to their stores. 9to5Mac has since spotted that Staples executives have taken to Twitter to confirm that a deal with Apple has been finalized and that their stores will begin selling Apple products. Staples Senior Vice President of Global Human Resources confirmed the deal on Twitter (Tweet now deleted).
The tweet read: “After Canada, #Apple products are coming to #Staples in US. Great news!”
Other Staples execs tweeting it up about the deal included Strategic Accounts coordinator Erin LaFlamme and Field Services Manager Mike Goggin.
While no official word has been released about exactly what Apple products Staples will offer, previous reports have said the office supply superstore will carry Apple’s full lineup of products, including the Mac, iPad, and the iPhone 5.
