Re: Another store closing - AC Moore Crafts☹️

The one AC Moore store near us closed a few short years (3 years maybe) after it opened in a brand new strip mall.  Couldn't compete with a Michaels and JoAnn fabrics so close to it I guess. Have always liked these 2 stores more than  AC Moore.  Their stock was not as large or varied as Michaels and the staff there didn't seem as knowledgable as Michaels and JoAnns.

Re: Another store closing - AC Moore Crafts☹️

The last time I was in Michaels I noticed it had turned into a junky version of Hobby Lobby and was very, very messy.

 

It gave me anxiety, I had to leave.

I never saw this thread and learned that A C Moore is liquidating soon when I was in there.

 

I only go there once a year for Make and Mold vanilla flavored white chocolate which make amazing white pretzels.   I looked for the same item on amazon and the $1.99 on sale package is $8.99!!!

 

I always preferred Michael's.  As far as I know, they're staying.

Re: Another store closing - AC Moore Crafts☹️

It's sad how many businesses are pulling out in my area of PA. A.C. Moore is one. Lots of jobs are low paying, ppl are buying their groceries online and shopping/delivery persons are needed. That will be the next big thing but I doubt it pays much.

Re: Another store closing - AC Moore Crafts☹️

@homedecor1  I was at our AC Moore earlier this week and saw the store closing signs. I was very lucky to pick up some spring candle rings at a very good price and a winter arrangement at 80% off. I always thought AC Moore had more reasonable pricing than Michaels. Sorry to see them go.

Re: Another store closing - AC Moore Crafts☹️

Our Michael's closed & reopened in a new outside mall.

 

I am very disappointed in the new store.  It's dark, uninviting & limited things -- the store that closed was just the opposite and bigger.

 

I only went there once during the Christmas season & they didn't have what I wanted.  I went to Hobby Lobby paid double🤔

 

The manager told me this store is smaller and "catering" to those who shop online & pickup in store. (this must be true since most discounts & coupons are for this).
