Staples to feature Party City supplies in Central Florida stores
The partnership will add balloons, décor and other supplies for personal and professional events to 700 Staples stores nationwide.
- On Tuesday, Party City announced a strategic partnership to open inside 700 Staples stores nationwide by year-end, marking a major distribution push after shuttering hundreds of locations in recent years.
- Party City previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2023, closing more than 80 locations while struggling with debt exceeding $800 million, then announced its final shutdown in December 2024 after nearly 40 years.
- The collaboration combines party supplies with Staples' print services, allowing shoppers to purchase balloons and decorations while creating custom invitations in one location as nearly 4 million students prepare to graduate in 2026.
- Marshall Warkentin, president of Staples U.S. Retail, said the partnership takes the company's goal of "making things easy" into new territory; customers can also order supplies on Staples.com for pickup in coming weeks.
- Joel Weinshanker, CEO of Ad Populum, owner of Party City, said Staples stood out for its "national footprint" and community connection, with plans to expand beyond the initial 700 stores by end of 2026.
