Which code does this activity belong in?
Office supply and stationery stores sell new stationery, school supplies, office supplies, office equipment, and furniture, often in combination with computers. The boundary with Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Stores lies in the core purpose of the merchandise; office-focused retailers are classified here regardless of their product mix, while establishments primarily engaged in retailing gifts, novelties, and souvenirs belong in the gift and souvenir category, even if they carry some overlapping items.
