Christianbook partners with Staples to speed nationwide delivery from Tennessee facility

Christianbook has partnered with Staples to accelerate order delivery across the US by integrating its fulfilment operations into Staples' logistics facility in La Vergne, Tennessee. The move brings Christianbook's product range, including books, homeschool curricula, bibles, gifts, and church supplies, into Staples' warehouse ahead of the homeschool season. The partnership will also relocate Christianbook's personalisation capabilities to Tennessee, enabling customisation of thousands of products with names, logos, or phrases. Julian Santos, senior vice president of operations at Christianbook, said the collaboration positions the company closer to customers nationwide, ensuring faster delivery. Ryan Hanson, chief supply chain officer at Staples, said combining Christianbook's product expertise with Staples' logistics capabilities creates a strong foundation for improved fulfilment and customer experience.

Will Trader Joe's come to Camino Real Marketplace?

Will Trader Joe's come to Camino Real Marketplace? With the pending closure of Staples at 7015 Market Place Drive in the Camino Real Marketplace, there is now a terrific potential landing spot for Trader Joe's which has sought a space in or near Camino Real Marketplace since at least 2008. That year, CompUSA closed in the popular shopping mall and Trader Joe's inquired about taking half of their space. Not wanting to chop up a rare big box retail space, the spot was instead leased to Best Buy. In 2022 I put out an update about Trader Joe's ongoing search of the Goodland near Storke Road. Now a prime spot in the heart of Camino Real Marketplace, with plenty of parking, will be available this August. Update: Reader BJ says an employee at Camino Real Marketplace has stated that the next tenant in that space will be TJ Maxx. More than a little bummed (I live just a block away).

The staples store in Goleta is closing.

The staples store in Goleta is closing. July 16, 2026|by Erik Torkells - - - "Staples is shuttering its doors in Goleta - the superstore's only location in Santa Barbara County - in late August." It's amazing it has lasted this long. - Santa Barbara News-Press - - - "Boating and fishing supply store West Marine, located at the Santa Barbara Harbor, is set to close its doors. [...] There is no timeline for an official closing date." - Noozhawk - - - The inaugural Santa Barbara Invitational Concours car show will be November 7 and 8. - Montecito Journal - - - "Vacant Offices on Carpinteria Bluffs Could Become 31 Housing, Work Units [...] An early proposal from Palm Lofts owner Peter Lewis would include 20 live-work units and 11 housing units at 6185 Carpinteria Ave." - Noozhawk - - - The Goleta Design Review Board has apparently had enough of the "modern farmhouse" style, at least in condo mode. "Members ask applicant City Ventures to return in August with revisions for the proposed 46-unit development" at "5955 Calle Real, next to Bowlero and near the Calle Real Shopping Center." - Noozhawk - - - The New York Times recaps Sable Offshore Corp.'s restarting of oil production off the coast of Santa Barbara. While it's a handy overview of what's happened for anyone not paying attention, there's way too much extraneous stuff (no disrespect to the Nacho the pug) and no investigation into why the Trump administration - the most corrupt in our country's history - is going to bat for Sable to such a degree. - - - Santa Barbara Planning Commission Devon Wardlow is joining the race for the District 4 seat ("San Roque, the upper Eastside, Coast Village Road, and a portion of the foothills") on the city council. - Santa Barbara News-Press - - - In Carpinteria, "Vice Mayor Mónica Solórzano (District 1) and Councilmember Julia Mayer (District 3) will seek re-election, while Councilmember Al Clark (District 5) plans to step down at the end of his term in December." - Noozhawk ················
