My old store went month to month for 15 months before finally being being rented by a dollar tree. We closed pretty fast and without much warning. About half the associates went to the nearby store. Other half didn't mind and worked out their time transferring ink cartridges out to other stores.

It depends on when the lease is actually up. Have you asked your DM/GM? How is your P&L?
Negotiations may have already taken place, and failed, and they are just waiting for the lease to end.
Staples may have outright told the property manager they were not going to renew, due to lack of sales, or increase in rent, and the property manager listed the building in advance to get a new tenant ASAP after Staples vacates.
There is also the possibility that your store may be remodeled and subdivided, with the listing being for the new subdivision.
If the building is already listed, closure is pretty much a forgone conclusion unless the issue was increased rent and the property manager gives in due to lack of a new tenant.
