CLEAR expands TSA PreCheck enrollment to over 190 Staples stores

NEW YORK - CLEAR (NYSE:YOU), which has seen its stock surge nearly 55% over the past six months and maintains a "GREAT" financial health rating according to InvestingPro, has significantly expanded its TSA PreCheck enrollment and renewal services to more than 190 Staples retail stores across the United States, the company announced Wednesday.

The expansion builds upon a partnership that began in 2024 with just 22 Staples locations offering the service. CLEAR has been rapidly adding new locations since the start of 2025, with plans to continue the rollout throughout the year. This expansion aligns with the company’s impressive 19.85% revenue growth over the last twelve months and robust 63% gross profit margin.

The Staples locations complement CLEAR’s existing 62 airport-based enrollment centers, bringing TSA PreCheck registration beyond airports to make the process more accessible to travelers.

"By expanding TSA PreCheck enrollment beyond airports, we’re making it easier and more convenient for travelers to enroll or renew," said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR, in a press release statement.

Marshall Warkentin, President of Staples U.S. Retail, noted that the partnership aims to simplify travel preparation for customers who can now handle TSA PreCheck enrollment while shopping for travel essentials.

The expanded service is now available in over 190 cities across 30 states, with locations ranging from major metropolitan areas like New York City and Los Angeles to smaller communities.

TSA PreCheck, a Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler program, allows members to keep shoes, belts, and light jackets on during airport security screening, with about 99% of members waiting less than 10 minutes at checkpoints nationwide.

The program currently has more than 22 million active members according to the company’s statement. New applicants can pre-enroll or find enrollment locations through CLEAR’s authorized TSA PreCheck website.
