Staples, the Framingham-based office supply company, has officially opened three Massachusetts coworking spaces in a new collaboration with Workbar.

The locations are set to open in Danvers, Norwood and Brighton. Each of the 2,500 to 3,500 square-foot facilities will offers a mix of high-end workspaces, conference rooms, private phone rooms, fast and secure Wi-Fi, and printers.

According to Staples, these working spaces represent a new level of business service from the company. The locations are part of Workbar’s "hub-and-spoke" approach to building out workspaces into the greater Massachusetts community.

The Workbar locations within Staples will be operated by Workbar and will offer coworking memberships, pre-scheduled meeting space, use of Workbar's downtown locations, and access to its in-person and online community. Workbar at Staples membership costs $130 per month and includes use of a single Workbar at Staples location and two days' access to the 15 other Workbar Network locations throughout greater Boston.
