The owner is extremely knowledgeable. I had a bunch of questions the last time I visited, and he was very patient with me. He answered all my questions. They also have a bunch of card games and board games. In the past, I stopped in and there were a bunch of folks in a side room playing an online video game. Unfortunately, COVID had a bit of an impact on that business. It sounded like they are trying to work out a new contract to get that going again.

Does it ever seem like companies originating in one town or city favor it? Honestly, I don't think…read moreit's a bad thing (I like it), but it seems to be becoming a trend. The Paper Store / Hallmark is based out of Acton, and now has two stores throughout the town, one here on Massachusetts Avenue and another in a plaza on Great Road. Being that this one is newer and was in the space of a former CVS, it's large, modern and super vast! Definitely one of the best Paper Store locations I have been to in terms of inventory. I shop here mostly during the holiday season, because they have just so many options, and even with the higher-than-average prices, it's worth finding things you won't be able to find elsewhere without ordering online (which I am highly against). Currently, they have lots of 30% off coupons, and the catalogs are always appealing. Here, the Hallmark Card variety is outstanding and the staff are friendly and keep a warm, happy, and calm attitude to the store. Definitely a cool place to shop, and one of the spots that answers the question of "what should I get for her / him?" 4 stars for this Paper Store.

With 3 kiddos in the tween age group, this is a convenient option for them to spend their allowance without having to drive 30 minutes away. The problem is that the store staff is pretty unwelcoming towards kids. We've been a pretty good customer over the course of many visits. The treatment has been pretty hit or miss from dirty looks thrown at the kids for picking up items they intend to buy to feeling like we are mildly tolerated at best. This store seems to prefer the young adult demographic.

Even when I saw it and directly asked "is that black mulch?", they said "yes". I figured, well ok... next year I will get the black. Then, without telling me they were done they left the property without seeing me. When I went out to inspect I noticed they did not complete the project either (about 2 yards short). That day I called to resolve this issue and then again the next morning with no return call. I always use local/small business-- but, I will never use Nickerson Residential & Commercial Services again! Nickerson's clearly do not know their products and think nothing about cheating and ignoring their customers. D. Smith of Maynard, MA

If you have anything you need I get info on in regard to coins, currencies, etc I would start with google image search. Stopped and spoke to someone about a couple of unique gold coins I had where each face was written in a different language that did not use the Roman/ Latin letters. They gave me their business card and asked me to email them a photo. It did take me a little while to email it over, but finally did and then crickets. Months later I went back and spoke to someone else and brought one of the coins with me. They photographed it and said that I should hear back soon and when I asked a couple of weeks and they said should be sooner, but that the experts were working on a big auction the next week so it may take a little longer. They took my info and said I would get back to me. I said I would stop back in a month. Went back around 6 weeks later and the person recognized me and said they hadn't heard back. I asked them to follow up and they said they would. Never heard back so I stopped in again. They said they would get back to me.

They also have things you would have trouble finding elsewhere. You can visit them one week, and the next week they have more great stuff in. I haven't been a frequent customer at the other retro gaming stores in the area because it's always the same products. Boom Boom always has new and exciting things, so they're worth the frequent visits. They price things fairly, and their rewards program gives you opportunities to save money with points redemption. Every dollar counts! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They constantly run events in store. The owner, Ben, runs an Easter Egg Hunt around Billerica with prizes. My children love it and look forward to it annually! Boom Boom just recently did a Christmas raffle, and for Thanksgiving they did a Turkey Shoot (nerf gun to an electronic target) to determine percentage off the purchase. They keep things fresh and give everyone a chance to get involved in the fun. It's obvious how much the Ben cares and is passionate about the store, and the customers who frequent it. They're also very active on socials to keep everyone informed on the latest updates. I've recently them doing unboxing videos. They have been interesting to watch to get a first look at what's coming in. I am a collector of all things retro gaming, and Boom Boom games is where most of my items come from. Not to mention they have clothing items, retro toys to make you feel nostalgic, and it's not my thing, but they have a substantial wrestling toy and item collection. They also get video games and consoles in pretty quickly. I've gone there on the day of releases before to get games ahead of the crowd. This hasn't been an issue for them. Me and my family will definitely be back there often, as each one of us finds things we love at Boom Boom.
