Papyrus Stationery Closes All Stores, Including 22 In NYC

NEW YORK CITY – Another national retail chain is shutting down, along with its two dozen locations in New York City.

The well-known stationary store Papyrus is reportedly closing all of its stores across the country, according to Fortune.

For New York City, that means 22 Papyrus stores in Manhattan will shut down. Most of the locations are found in Midtown, including outposts at Penn Station and Grand Central, and the upper east and west sides.

The company, which once had 450 locations, is down to 260 stores, which are currently in liquidation.

Papyrus hadn't issued a formal statement announcing the closings as of Tuesday, Fortune reported, but the website now state that all sales are final and no returns or guarantees will be honored. A 20 percent off storewide sale was also happening on the Papyrus website.

The chain, which also sells greeting cards and gift wrap, is at these spots in the Big Apple:
