700 Staples stores are bringing back Party City by opening shop-in-shops. Here's the full list of locations in 34 states

""By bringing Party City into Staples stores, we're expanding what customers can accomplish in one place-combining helium balloons and party supplies with our print and marketing services to offer a complete solution for celebrations, from graduations to grand openings and everything in between.""

""Staples has been rapidly downsizing, reducing its U.S. footprint to fewer than 1,000 stores as part of an ongoing shift toward e-commerce and business-to-business services.""

""Party City's challenges were more severe. The party supply chain filed for bankruptcy twice, first in January 2023 and again in December 2024, which led to the retailer announcing that it would close all of its stores.""

Staples is introducing Party City shop-in-shops in more than 700 locations across 34 states, offering party supplies and helium balloon inflation. Customers can also utilize Staples' same-day print services for personalized invitations and banners. The partnership aims to enhance customer convenience by combining party supplies with Staples' marketing services. Both companies have faced challenges, with Staples downsizing and Party City filing for bankruptcy twice. The collaboration is expected to attract more customers and expand Staples' offerings by the end of 2026.
