If you hadn't heard, this crafts store chain is going out of business, everything in store here is 25-50% off…

So far the discounts aren't deep enough yet. I'll wait until they get serious.

They do that thing where the small print says "up to 50% off" and anything I 'd get is well on the lower end.

Hate to see'm go,but I thought the prices weren't that competitive to begin with.

Always sad to see a shop close. Jobs, plans and future. The Tall Mouse (ca) closed a few years ago and that was sad too.

I've found that the discounts don't yet beat the coupons that they had, which you can't use since the only apply to items that are not on sale… There's one on my way to work so I'll check in periodically.

Very upset when I saw that. I have one less than 10 minutes away, folks are always helpful and pleasant.

Not all stores are closing. The competing chain, Micheal's bought some of them.

Hmmm, closest one is 11 hours and 11 minutes away, so I doubt the discounts will be worth my time, or gas money.

Thanks for the heads up anyway though.

All 141 AC Moore locations are closing.
Yes, Michael's is going to move into a select set of locations.
And that seems a win win for more than one reason.
Their prices aren't low enough as the other hobby chain stores can do 40% on a daily basis.
They are sure an East Coast company as all but 2 stores are on this side of the country.
