Delaware-based writer and researcher Joran Howell was able to identify the computer repair store in the New York Post article on Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop after the paper forgot to redact it on one of the receipts.
According to Howell, the store is The Mac Shop in Trolley Square:
Hunter Biden's secret emails were taken from a laptop that he dropped off for repair at The Mac Shop in Trolley Square. @nypost forgot to blur out one reference to the shop. https://t.co/0hd7QK6e82 pic.twitter.com/GpX3E1JJvX

And there is some discussion right now if it was legal for the owner of the store to allegedly copy the contents of the hard drive and give it to Rudy Giuliani. According to the receipt uploaded by the NY Post, if the computer was indeed abandoned property, the owner of the store could be in the clear:
According to the quote for repairs, "The Mac Shop reserves the right to remove any equipment or parts installed" if left with the shop for more than 90 days. And apparently they will also send your hard drives to @RudyGiuliani

The NY Post has since updated its photo:
Update: the Post story has been updated with the above reference to The Mac Shop now redacted. pic.twitter.com/M75IXyRXn4

But others were able to guess the name of the store based on the shape of the redacted logo at the top of the page:
@ronozer check out this tweet. Also, if you read the document on the post story you can make out the redacted lettering there (the post fixed their dumb mistake.)

Yeah I was fairly convinced it was the Mac Shop before I found the unredacted reference in the fine print because of the logo on the top left. Even though blurred, I was like, "That definitely looks like the Mac Shop logo."
