A brand-new store opened on Byres Road in the West End in December 2022. 

There is also a shop in Braehead Shopping Centre in Renfrew.

Sky News reports that sources say Paperchase was continuing to seek a solvent rescue deal. 

In January 2021, Paperchase secured a rescue deal which preserved around 1,000 jobs and the majority of stores after tumbling into administration.
