A.C. Moore going out of business!
I was sad to discover this past week that A.C. Moore is going out of business. I went into the one near me on Jan. 2 to look for post holiday sale items and was greeted with large “Store Closing” signs . When I asked a cashier if it was just this location or the whole company, she said it was the whole company.
I have been fortunate the last 14 years to have a Michael’s, Hobby Lobby and A.C. Moore all within a few miles of each other. By the time I had moved here the local, small shops were already closed.
I like the “instant gratification” of being able to bring my purchases home rather than wait for them to ship. And when it comes to yarn shopping, I really need to be able to see and touch before buying.
I guess it’s better for my budget to have one less place to wander through and buy “this or that” whether I had a specific project in mind or not. But I hate to see any crafty based business shut their doors.
