paper shop

Where newspapers live

A paper shop is a British term for a newsagent—a small retail store selling newspapers, magazines, cigarettes, sweets, and sundries.

The name comes from its primary merchandise: I'm popping down to the paper shop for the morning paper.

Also called a newsagent's.
