Papakura Paper Power

Paper Power started trading in April 1992 and was founded by four members with the vision of becoming a market force in the stationery and books retail industry.  The driving motivation behind this pioneering inception was Robert Edward Mitchell.  His vision was to utilize his wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry to create buying power for its group members and create a brand name in the market.  At the core of the company’s existence, however, was the desire to serve the community.  As such, the company lent itself to slogans like “Your local community booksellers and stationers” and “Small enough to care, big enough to compete”.

This culture remains one of the main the strengths of the group in serving its customers and has, consequently, lead to a growth in franchisee numbers.  As the company name implies, Paper Power has become powerful force in the market and now has a total of 20 stores across the North Island, with a vision of further future expansion.
