Family Dollar Store

Dollar Tree is the place to go for greeting cards, wrapping paper, gift bags and the like. They have a huge selection of cards, many of which are just 50 cents.

No offense but you’re one of the reasons they made the change. Clearly you don’t go there often since the change is well over 6 months old.

Probably. I don't see any reason to go to a Hallmark store when you can buy Hallmark cards at Publix and other stores.

Not to mention the price of stamps and delivery times.

Hallmark Stores are mainly franchises operated by independent franchisees. My guess is The Paper Store acquired the franchise rights of the prior franchisees of the two locations. The two stores are still listed in Hallmark’s store directory indicating they are still Hallmark stores.

Dollar General sells ver nice greeting cards for $1 and $2.

Don't know if there is similar in US, but here in UK we use Moonpig quite a lot.
You can personalize cards or use stock cards.
They take care of postage.
Reasonable price, and very convenient.

An alternative, if you're inclined, is to make your own cards to send. It's fun, relaxing, and I enjoy thinking about the person as I make the card. There are some fun groups in The Villages that do this.
