Staples, one of the world’s largest internet retailers, today
kicked off a nationwide “Refresh. Recharge. Refuel.” Breakroom Tour
to encourage office workers across the country to take a break. The
tour will let people disconnect from work by visiting a
large-scale, “pop-up” breakroom stocked with free refreshing
snacks, coffee and other beverages.

As part of the tour, Staples will host public breakroom events
in ten major U.S. cities including Boston, New York City,
Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, San
Diego and Los Angeles.
A survey of office workers and managers by Staples revealed some
interesting regional trends, including:
- Workers in the Northeast (58 percent)
feel more burnt out than their colleagues across other regions of
the U.S.
- Workers in the West (27 percent) aren’t
taking lunch breaks.
- In the Midwest, workers feel guilty
about getting up from their desks to take a break (28
percent).
- Workers in the South (90 percent) say
they need breaks to boost productivity.
Despite regional differences, the survey underscored the
importance of taking breaks as employees work longer days. An
overwhelming majority of workers (86 percent) acknowledge that
taking a break would make them more productive. In fact, 58 percent
of respondents said a well-stocked, comfortable breakroom would
encourage breaks.
“This tour demonstrates the power of the breakroom in keeping
employees refreshed and recharged,” said Chris Correnti, Vice
President, Staples Facility Solutions. “The Staples “Refresh.
Recharge. Refuel.” Breakroom Tour will provide a welcome diversion
and deliver just the kind of break workers need, so they can return
to work ready to make more happen.”
Staples has the expertise and products to help companies turn
their breakroom into a venue to keep employees happy, refreshed and
productive. No matter the size of the business, organizations can
get breakroom supplies through Staples stores or Staples.com for
small businesses, and through Staples Advantage, the
business-to-business division which services larger
organizations.
What to expect at the event:
- Tips to help workers make an energizing
break happen.
- Free snacks, coffee and other beverages
along with breakroom games, prizes, product samples and
entertainment.
- An interactive photo tent allowing
workers to capture their energizing break with coworkers.
- Appearances by special breakroom guests
at select locations.
