Uptown Minneapolis stationery store Paper Source to close

Uptown is losing another business on a besieged corner of the city.

Paper Source, a longtime paper, stationery and gift store at 3048 Hennepin in Uptown will close in March. Its last day will be March 23, an employee said.

The block has faced highs and lows in the last year. Paper Source will join a neighboring apparel store Scout which closed its doors at the start of the year. Those boutiques are just steps away from the wildly popular new restaurant Kim's. The Uptown Target a few blocks away shuttered last May.

Paper Source locations in Edina, St. Paul and at the Mall of America will remain open.
