New Store Coming To Former Dress Barn Location In Southbury

A popular retailer with several locations in Connecticut will take over the space next year.

SOUTHBURY, CT — The Paper Store is expected to open in spring 2020 in what was once Dress Barn in the Southbury Plaza.

The specialty gift store offers stationary, apparel, toys, jewelry and more. It has about a dozen locations in Connecticut.

Dress Barn shut down all its locations earlier this year across the country. Southbury's location closed over the summer. CEO Steven Taylor said the stores weren't operating at an acceptable profit level.
