Pulp & Circumstance opens new combined store in Washington LaneBy Lindsay KellyRoyalGazette.com

Local paper goods and gift shop Pulp & Circumstance has opened its doors in Washington Lane, Hamilton with a new look and feel.

The new location, formerly home to North Rock Communications, has been completely renovated and now boasts 3,000 square feet of retail space with an extra 500 feet of back office space.

The store combines the Queen Street paper store with the Front Street gift shop so now customers have a one-stop shop for invitations, menus, placecards, leather journals, pen sets and gifts. Owner Kristi Grayston hopes this new location will bring in a steady stream of customers.

“It’s a great location,” said Ms Grayston. “Washington Mall has become the hub of retail sales so you want to be in it or near it. Being just outside of the mall works out even better because we are not dependent on the mall hours.”

According to Ms Grayston, Pulp & Circumstance will celebrate 15 years of business this November with the paper store having been located in the Windsor Place for 10 years.
