Date announced for opening of new stationery store in Thame High Street
A stationery store in Thame has confirmed when it will be fully opened to the public.
Stamp, which describes itself as the ‘UK’s best independent stationery retailer’, will be fully operational in the town next Tuesday.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned outside the store which has taken over the former Glynswood site at 11 High Street.
According to company estimates the store has over 1,000 cards within the property, it also offers copying and printing services.
It is hoped that the new store will appeal to shoppers looking to purchase office supplies, materials for school, and homeworking. Customers will also find arts and crafts products at the store. Signage also shows that the store has the capacity to complete photographs for identification cards and passports.
Stamp is part of the UOE umbrella, a company which runs stores across the London area and further afield with sites in Oxford and Milton Keynes among others.
A spokesperson for the company said that the much-loved retail team that worked at Glynswood have been ‘preserved’. But the independent business has ‘modernised’ the store’s interiors.
They also revealed that the upstairs of the shop is being renovated and within a year it is hoped that the area can be used for community events.
Elliot Jacobs, ceo, of UOE, said: “We believe the high street isn’t dying; it just needs businesses willing to invest in it properly. We are making a significant investment in this unique high street location to make it a vibrant and welcoming space that supports local connections and celebrates Thame’s independent spirit.”
