The Paper Store Opens its Newest Location in Glastonbury, CT at Somerset Square

GLASTONBURY, CT - The Paper Store is happy to announce the opening of its newest location in Glastonbury, CT at the Super Stop & Shop Plaza, located next to Barnes and Noble at 175 Glastonbury Boulevard. This is the company’s 63rd location across the Northeast and second location in central Connecticut, an area of growth for the retailer.

The Paper Store, also an official Hallmark Gold Crown store, is opening the beginning of September, with a Grand Opening Celebration taking place on Saturday, October 1st, 2016. The grand opening will include a radio station appearance from popular station WTIC in the afternoon, prizes, and a fantastic gift card giveaway to the first 100 people in the store. The Glastonbury location will be one of the first to showcase The Paper Store’s new look – featuring easy-to-shop product displays, inviting home-inspired flooring, and updated fixtures to showcase the array of products the store carries.

Hallmark fans especially won’t want to miss The Paper Store’s Grand Opening on Saturday, October 1st as it coincides with the highly anticipated Hallmark Ornament Debut with the release of over 100 ornaments, Hallmark exclusive deals, bonus points and more.

“We are so excited to be serving as the premiere gift destination in the central Connecticut area. Our locations in West Hartford and now in Glastonbury, plus our upcoming location in South Windsor are ideal for customers. We really want customers to come in and meet us, say hi to their new neighbor and learn about who we are,” says Tom Anderson, Chief Operating Officer of The Paper Store. “We want people to know we offer all the great product that other Hallmark Gold Stores offer – plus more with an ever expanding fashion and jewelry department.” The Glastonbury location is the second in the area with a location in West Hartford at Bishops Corner already open and an additional location in South Windsor at The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk coming later this month.

Founded more than 50 years ago as a family-run stationery store in Massachusetts, The Paper Store has grown into a gift-giving mecca with 63 locations throughout the Northeast (and growing!). The store's devout fan following is thanks to the company’s ability to find the latest trends in fashion jewelry, Nora Fleming™ home accents, Vera Bradley™ handbags, the latest fashion apparel, and popular jewelry from MantraBand, lokai and Mia & Tess Designs. The key to the company’s runaway success has been its focus on celebrating the art of gift giving with highly skilled gift specialists that aid shoppers in finding just the right choices
