Paper source store
Paper Source is a paperie and gift retailer offering a curated selection of fine papers, custom invitations and announcements, distinctive gifts, quirky greeting cards, gift wrap, paper craft kits, party supplies and personalized stationery and stamps based out of Chicago, Illinois.
The first Paper Source store opened in Chicago in 1983 to showcase beautiful handcrafted papers from around the world. In 2007, Brentwood Associates purchased a majority stake in the company and Sally Pofcher was named CEO. Under Sally's leadership, the retailer grew from 20 stores to 100. In 2013 Papersource was sold to Investcorp. In 2015 after opening their 100th store, Paper Source hired a new CEO, Winnie Park and opened a large warehouse facility in Forest Park, IL.
