The first Paper Source store was opened in Chicago in 1983 to showcase beautiful handcrafted papers from around the world. Through the years, we have grown our product offering beyond fine paper and expanded our reach with the introduction of papersource.com and a wholesale division, Waste Not Paper.
Our new CEO Winnie Park brings a terrific mix of business experiences in strategy, merchandising and marketing. We are excited to have such an individual that has the skills and the personality to lead this brand, culture, and business towards an even brighter future and continued store growth.
