At 1650 Garnet Ave in the Pacific Beach Retail Center, 92109, Staples is an office supply and electronics store serving local businesses, students, and remote workers. The chain was founded in 1986 by Tom Stemberg and Leo Kahn, who opened the first location in Brighton, Massachusetts, with the goal of bringing big-box pricing to office products. This Pacific Beach store offers printing and copying services, passport photos, shipping through UPS and FedEx, computer repair, and a full aisle of office furniture alongside everyday supplies. Entrepreneurs running errands along Garnet can pair a supply haul with a stop at U.S. Bank Branch for business banking a few doors down. The in-house Tech Services desk handles everything from laptop diagnostics to data recovery, and the store accepts electronics, batteries, and ink cartridges for free recycling. Google reviewers highlight fast turnaround on print jobs and helpful staff at the copy center. Grabbing lunch between tasks is easy at Filippis Pizza Grotto Pacific Beach, a Garnet Avenue institution since the 1950s. The location accepts all major credit and debit cards, NFC mobile payments, and business checks. Free Wi-Fi is available in-store for customers working on last-minute projects.
