Staples Commercial Filmed in Davis Sq?

It features the Somerville Theatre lobby and a JP Licks (at a minimum). I'm sure you might recognize the other locales.

Sacco's Bowl-Haven, of course. I think they show both the bowling-alley side and the flatbread oven.

The funny thing is, Staples once expressed interest in moving into the first floor of the Citizens Bank building, but withdrew their offer after the building owner had already obtained the necessary permits to modify the exterior.

btw, since when did Staples become a place to buy kitchen and dining room stuff?

Davis Square's local businesses are great, now that we've replaced all the businesspeople with totally implausible actors!

I'm the @DenisMoskowitz who noticed this on twitter - was just coming to see if anyone had mentioned it here!

To be aired during the Super Bowl, perhaps?

I don't recognize the shop with the older man, or the barbershop -- are those both in the square?

Given the price shown - $2 haircut! - I'm guessing it's a stage set.

I think the shop with the older gentleman in plaid is Q's Nuts. Or, at least it's filled with Q's nuts products and has a work sink where they do.

The office might be Thalia Tringo's?

The Barber Shop might be the one on Holland at Winter. The "$2 haircut" sign is obviously a cheap temporary banner (probably printed at Staples?).

The barbershop is Dente's.

I don't recognize the place with the older guy in the white apron. The $2.00 haircut sign looks familiar, but I can't place the barber shop.

Are we really that hipster here?

I think the white-apron'ed guy is standing in Q's Nuts.

Nice catch.

I'm a fan.

My housemate gets his hair cut there, he says it's Dente's.
