Hickson's Puts Community First
Princeton, NJ — December 10, 2024: “Putting community needs at the heart of everything we do.” Those words underline the community-first approach of Akshay Patel, owner of Hinkson’s, at 28 Spring Street in Princeton.
Akshay bought the 115-year old business in 2023 and has embraced the former owners’ well-established service model while adding creative innovations of his own.
A former cybersecurity expert, Akshay shifted to a better work-life balance by acquiring his first shipping business in Jenkintown, PA, in 2018. His passion for community support led to further ventures, including Hinkson's, in 2023.
Hinkson’s sells office and school supplies, printing supplies, planners and calendars, and packing and shipping supplies.
They handle drop-offs and pack and ship worldwide using UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS.
They recently introduced a gift wrapping service where customers can drop off items to be expertly wrapped with their choice of paper.
They also offer advanced printing services for copies, posters, flyers, booklets, banners, and signs — often cheaper than Staples.
“We designed and printed business cards for a university admission counselor in under 45 minutes for an important event," Akshay says. "We were proud to help when it mattered most.”
Hinkson's The Office Store is a one-stop-shop for dozens of business products and services that will allow you to do what you’re good at while they take care of the “other stuff” you need to succeed!
