Following the lead of Abercrombie & Fitch, Pacific Sunwear and Starbucks, corporate giant Staples found a new home in Harvard Square this summer.
Its bright red window dressings and prominent location in the Crimson Galleria on JFK Street have elicited concerns about the Square's new corporate feel.

Staples: $0.83
Bob Slate: $1.19
