At least Rhonda Gibler won’t have any difficulties in getting stationery with her business’ new address.

“We definitely know how to do that,” said Gibler, co-owner of the Lawrence-based print shop Pro-Print.

Yes, the longtime printer of stationery, business cards, forms and other such items is ending its run in downtown Lawrence.

Pro-Print has announced that it is moving to west Lawrence by late April. The company is moving to the shopping center at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive in a vacant spot between Salty Iguana and Morningstar’s Pizza.

The move may be a sign of new things to come for downtown. Gibler said the business is moving because the Grantham family — the former owners of Pro-Print — have decided to sell the downtown building that has long housed the business. Gibler tells me a contract is pending on the building, but she had no word on the buyer. The building, 838 Massachusetts St., is a unique one because of its size. It is large enough that it has two addresses on Massachusetts Street. When you count the basement, it has 7,000 square feet of space, Gibler said.

Whatever happens to the space, it presumably will mark the first time in about 40 years that the building hasn’t been used as a print shop. David Longhurst operated a print shop in the location in the late 1970s, and the building became home to Pro-Print in 1987, Gibler said. She’s been working at the print shop since 1981.

“We’re excited about the move, but it also is kind of bittersweet,” said Gibler, who bought the business with partner Gregg Tolin in 2011. “I’m leaving my ‘hood.”

Pro-Print’s new location — 4931 W. Sixth St. — will have about half the space of the current spot. The business will continue to offer all of its current services, except contract restrictions won’t allow it to serve as a UPS center.

Gibler said the use of digital presses means the business needs less space these days. One thing it does continue to need is a lot of paper, and an easy way to receive the daily semi-truck delivery of paper. Gibler said that fact made it difficult for the company to find a space to relocate to in downtown.

“We have daily paper deliveries, and we need a spot that is good for those type of deliveries,” Gibler said. “We couldn’t find anything downtown that was the right size and had the right setup.”

Gibler said the store plans to serve downtown businesses as much as ever. The business has long had a delivery service, and she said it will have a particular focus on getting customer orders to downtown quickly.

As far as a timeline for the move, Gibler said Pro-Print has to be out of the space by April 30, but she hopes to make the move a week or so before then.

In terms of other buildings to keep an eye on in downtown, I hear deals either are done or close to being done for retailers to move into 835 Massachusetts, the former home of Ten Thousand Villages, and 816 Massachusetts, the former home of Doodlebugs used children’s clothing. My understanding is both sites would house speciality retailers. I’ll report more when I hear more.

In other news and notes from around town:

• I don’t know about you, but barbecue duck sounds pretty good this weekend. (If you don’t get that joke, you should be arrested for not having basketball sufficiently on your mind.) Well, duck or not, there is one less place to get your barbecue supplies in Lawrence.

The business known as Grills & Grinders — or at times G&G BBQ Outfitters — has closed. It was in the same shopping center at Sixth and Wakarusa where Pro-Print is moving. The business closed earlier this month after a five-year run at the location, according to the company’s Facebook page. The business sold everything from grills to barbecue spices to fireproof covers for your eyebrows. (I may be confused on that last one. That may just be an item on my wish list.) According the Facebook page, the owners decided to move onto other ventures. No word yet what may move into that space at Sixth and Wakarusa.
