The Paper Store celebrated the opening of its newest location at Garden City Center (63 Hillside Road #8090) in Cranston on Oct. 1. This is the company’s 68th location across the Northeast.

The grand opening featured radio station Hot 106, prizes, and a gift card giveaway to the first 100 people in the store. The Cranston store is also among the first to showcase the company’s new retail store design. It currently employs 22 people, with hopes of increasing that to 35 by December.

“We are so excited to be serving as the premiere gift destination in the greater Cranston area,” Tom Anderson, chief operating officer of The Paper Store, said in a press release.

The company’s Cranston location is one of the first in the area, with an additional location in Wakefield joining already established locations in Warwick and Smithfield.
