And I was walked in person to the area of the store to find what I was looking for. Really large selection of overpriced gift wrap. I bought what I needed.

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. Before going to them, I tried to use google translate I tried using google translate to figure out what it was and tried a few times after.
