Q: Is Island Paperie a franchise? A: No. We've had many compliments and questions about if we are a chain or a franchise because of the beauty of our stores and quality of our tropical scrapbooking supplies and Hawaiian invitations. We are a small company and plan to remain that way. We may, in time, open other small stores throughout the state of Hawaii...but most likely one at a time. In the past, we have considered expanding into franchises, but decided we would remain small in scale to provide excellent customer service and build on our customer relationships personally.
