Goodbye, 7-11. P & P Shipping is here to stay! Over 20 years ago, when Sujit Kumar opened his first business in Greenpoint, he knew that this neighborhood supports small businesses like his when neighbors protested against the closure of his small but charming convenience store.

P&P is great! A lifesaver during extended wfh, helped me mail several urgent filings for my pro bono clients and we never had any issues. We bought labels to DYI our wedding announcements here. Love their art supplies, too. It’s wonderful having a local store with such a great selection.
If you ever need to move via FED EX.
P&P handled not only the volume of large packages, they made sure that they got collected.
I had been shopping there for years previously, it is a fantastic business.
Having to move after 16 years was super sad. They made it so much easier. Bless them.
Georges, Josephs, Harrico, Jockonowitz, Chopin, Green Farms, Cheap Charlies, and Jams are just some of the many lost & beloved local establishments that once served Greenpoint so well. Despite the unsatiable & anti-social greed of landlords, the tradition of mom & pop stores still lives on with people like Mr. Kumar — and that tradition needs to be both appreciated & supported by our neighborhood.
Well said Stan Boomer. I’ve lived here all my life (48 yrs) and I’m sad to see those shops you mentioned gone, but I’m glad P&P and Mr. Kumar are here to take their place. The art supplies section inspires the artist in me!
