Paul Frank-Ny Industries Showroom

Adorable store to browse through! I always passed by this store when walking around or even driving by on the way to the Holland tunnel. I finally stopped in. It’s definitely cutesy, and children would love the products, or people who just appreciate cute knick knacks and Paul Frank stuff. As I type this, I’m wearing a pair of fleece Julius pants, haha. A very bright, colorful store, cheerful and friendly staff. Not a huge store, but perfectly sized to showcase their items and for customers to browse.

I’m a huge Julius fan. HUGE. I love Paul Frank because the designs and colors make me happy. Even though I’m an adult, I have no shame wearing Paul Frank socks or parading around my house in my Julius snuggie. I could probably fill a room with all my PF stuff.
My boyfriend brought me to NYC on my birthday specifically to go to the Paul Frank pop-​up store. Even though this listing is for the PF Showroom, I think it’s just temporary until January 31^st.
I was completely surprised when he brought me here. Like a kid in a candy store. It’s kind of small but they do carry more things than you’d find elsewhere. I know that there are Paul Frank stores in Taiwan and Shanghai and if memory serves me right, the Taiwan store may have carried more, but these items there seem to be a higher price.
I must’ve circled this store many times trying to decide what I want. They carry more coffee mugs, drinking glasses, and lunch boxes. I bought a tote bag too and a sweatshirt. They also carry two-​piece swimsuits, pajamas, indoor slippers, toys and kids clothes too. And while there are some things not for sale, they display Julius ukeleles, guitar, surfboard, some furniture, and even a vintage Paul Frank and Hello Kitty collaboration. If you’re familiar with PF stuff, you’ll know that their prices are a little bit higher than standard and product quality can vary kind of on the lower side.
At first the people working in the store kind of ignore you but once you start talking to them or asking them questions, they’re so willing to help and friendly. We told them we came from Atlanta specifically to go to this store and they were so friendly that they gave us some extra Julius shopping tote bags. Love it!
I’m a little sad that this is only a pop-​up, but if you’re a Paul Frank or Julius fan, I think it’s worth a trip.
