Stationery stores and bookshops in the Northern Borders region are experiencing a surge in sales as the back-to-school season approaches. Shelves are stocked with a wide range of school and university supplies, including notebooks, pens, backpacks, and office materials, to meet the needs of students at all educational levels.

Several shop owners have noted that demand is rising daily from students and parents eager to purchase both essential and supplementary items early in preparation for the new academic year.

During a field visit, the Saudi Press Agency observed a diverse selection of products in stores, such as backpacks, notebooks, pens, and books, offering students a broad array of choices to suit their preferences and requirements.

This seasonal activity provides an opportunity to support the local commercial sector and revitalize the stationery market, reflecting the positive impact of the education cycle on the economy and enhancing commercial activity at the start of each new school year.

Stationery vendors explained that they have stocked large quantities of school supplies in various modern styles to meet current demands, noting that shoppers of all ages are increasingly purchasing these items.

Meanwhile, several shoppers pointed out that competition in pricing and quality has significantly expanded purchasing options for students and their families, resulting in a range of prices across different stores.
