Paperchase reopening Queensgate store

Following government guidelines to close our stores in March of this year, Paperchase began a phased re-opening on June 15.

Having started with 17 stores across the country, the company says they are now confident to re-open a further 32 stores from today.

This includes the branch in the city’s Queensgate shopping centre.

Bosses insist the safety and wellbeing of staff teams and customers is top priority, adding: “To ensure this is maintained at all times, we are implementing the following measures across Paperchase stores:

“Enhanced cleaning and personal hygiene procedures, including hand sanitiser for colleagues and a limit to the number of customers in a store at any one time.

“Social-distancing stewards and signs dedicated to managing queues and ensuring customers can navigate stores safely and effectively.

“Protective screens at till points where it is more difficult to maintain a two-metre distance.

“PPE for colleagues, as well as social distancing on the shop floor and in back of house.

“Making card payments easier with an increased contactless payment limit of £45.”

The firm adds: “We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Paperchase community for continuing to support us during this challenging time, and for your cooperation in helping us to look after everyone as we start to re-open stores.

Their website remains open so for those who would prefer to shop from the added safety and comfort of their home.
