Paper Source was founded by Susan Lindstrom in 1983 after a trip to Japan exposed her to refined stationery[3]. The first Paper Source store opened in Chicago's River North neighborhood to showcase handcrafted papers from around the world.[2] Lindstrom retired as Chief Creative Officer in 2009. In 2007, Brentwood Associates purchased a majority stake in the company and Sally Pofcher was named CEO. Under Sally's leadership, the retailer grew from 20 stores to 100. In 2013 Papersource was sold to Investcorp.[4] In 2015 after opening their 100th store, Paper Source hired a new CEO, Winnie Park and opened a large warehouse facility in Forest Park, IL.[5] Meghan Markle worked as a calligraphy instructor at the Paper Source Beverly Hills branch, from 2004-2005.[6]References1. ^{{Cite web|title = Paper Source unveils new digs—and a new CEO|url = http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20150909/NEWS07/150909844/paper-source-unveils-new-digs-and-a-new-ceo|website = Crain's Chicago Business|accessdate = 2015-12-16}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web|title = About Us {{!}} Paper Source|url = http://www.papersource.com/about/|website = www.papersource.com|accessdate = 2015-12-16}} 3. ^https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/paper-source-founder-susan-lindstrom-dead-at-73/ 4. ^{{cite news|title = Paper Source stationery company sold by SoCal private equity firm|url = http://articles.latimes.com/2013/sep/24/business/la-fi-mo-paper-source-sale-20130924|author = Tiffany Hsu|work = Los Angeles Times|date = September 24, 2013|accessdate = August 2, 2015}} 5. ^{{Cite web|title = Paper Source unveils new digs—and a new CEO|url = http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20150909/NEWS07/150909844/paper-source-unveils-new-digs-and-a-new-ceo|website = Crain's Chicago Business|accessdate = 2015-12-16}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-calligraphy-wedding-invitations/|title=Inside Meghan Markle's Secret Part-Time Job That Explains Her Letter-Perfect Handwriting|work=PEOPLE.com|access-date=2018-04-02|language=en}} External links
