Default In shock. ALL Paper Zone stores are closing!

I just got an email announcing that all Paper Zone stores are closing (Pacific Northwest store that carried stamping supplies, lots of high quality paper by the ream, every envelope size you could imagine, clear card envelopes for packaging for sale) and I am in shock! I know the economy is bad, blah blah blah, but this is a fairly large chain of stores!

Anyway... everything is 30% off and they're also selling all of the fixtures and stuff. Get there soon if you can!

I don't know where I will get some of my supplies now. This sucks.

I know it! I just saw the email too. I need to go and stock up on envelopes for the next decade! So, so sad. :(

Ack! While I hate they are going out of business, I wish they had made this announcement like 2 weeks ago when I was in Washington visiting friends/family. I could have gone shopping!

I'm really sad that they're closing too. I've been getting all of my Neenah white cardstock and envelopes from Paper Zone for years. I'm pretty sure that Arvey Paper, which is just a block away from Paper Zone on NE Grand, carries a lot of the same paper products. I used to go there all the time to get fancy cardstock for the place I used to work for.
