Paper Plus Hornby is a locally owned family business inside The Hub shopping centre, at 24/418 Main South Road in Hornby, Christchurch. It sells books, stationery, art and craft supplies, gifts, toys, games, greeting cards and gift wrap. A New Zealand Post outlet inside the shop handles parcels, and it also handles NZTA and billpay transactions. The Hub has more than 70 stores, a food court with free Wi-Fi, and EV chargers, including what the centre describes as Christchurch's most powerful Super Charge station. The centre is about a 20-minute drive from the city centre, and it can be reached by car, bus, taxi or bike.
Customers say the staff are helpful. One said a staff member gave tremendous assistance on the best way to send packages to England. Another bought about ten cards and got 50% off each one. A third praised two staff for going above and beyond. Reviewers also mention the stationery, the book selection and vouchers. Because the shop is inside The Hub, a card, a parcel and a book can all be dealt with on one trip.
