Staples, I think, is an awesome store name, mostly because of the double entendre. Staples are a small item u can buy, but they idea is that they sell all the staple goods of a small business office.
(N) a short piece of wire bent so as to bind together papers, sections of a book, or the like, by driving the ends through the sheets and clinching them on the other side.
(N) a principal commodity in a mercantile field; goods in steady demand or of known or recognized quality.

Rock on.
I had gotten so used to thinking of it as just the metal fastener that I guess I forgot about the other meaning of a “staple.”
Thanks for pointing that out

I would like to know if you. were saying that you found a store called rice, or call a store rice. So that you can apply that to your life. pleas let me know?

Oh, the joke is that one would just call the store rice because it is the smallest thing they sell. I’m still on the lookout for a store that actually refers to itself as “rice.”
