Insights

Business Expansion Strategist

CLEAR's massive expansion of TSA PreCheck locations to 190+ Staples stores significantly extends their reach beyond airports.

CLEAR has dramatically scaled its TSA PreCheck enrollment network from just 22 Staples locations at the end of 2024 to over 190 stores nationwide in 2025, with more openings planned weekly. This strategic expansion complements CLEAR's existing 62 airport-based enrollment centers, creating a threefold increase in their physical footprint for this service.

This rapid expansion represents a significant operational achievement, as CLEAR has effectively penetrated major markets across 35+ states in less than eight months. The breadth of coverage now spans from major metropolitan areas to smaller communities, creating unprecedented accessibility for potential customers who previously would have needed to visit airports specifically for enrollment.

The Staples partnership creates a compelling distribution channel advantage over competitors by meeting consumers where they already shop rather than requiring special trips to transportation hubs. By bringing TSA PreCheck enrollment into retail environments, CLEAR removes a key friction point in customer acquisition while simultaneously increasing brand visibility among Staples' customer base.

This expansion follows CLEAR's business model of reducing travel friction points while creating recurring revenue streams. Each new enrollment location serves as both a customer acquisition tool and a convenience factor for renewals. With TSA PreCheck's 99% success rate in keeping security wait times under 10 minutes, CLEAR is positioning itself as the facilitator of this increasingly essential travel service, potentially driving both new subscriptions and retention rates higher.
