I heard of The Paper Store through another sponsored Facebook post, and it seemed like the next idea for the blog. The closest one is in Buffalo, and the Tri-state a close second. This is more like Hallmark stores and they used to be in CNY (one remains). There's also The Paper Source (which could get overlapping locations not chosen by their competitor). Both chains have entered administration because of Pandemicoras Box (a blog post all its own). We used to have The Paper Cutter (see later post), which was sort of close, but that also had office and school supplies before OfficeMax and Staples moved on in. The Paper Store would work in Upstate NY east of WNY.
