NC Scroller Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 I saw that A.C. Moore is closing all stores. Sad that so many will be losing jobs especially this time of year. For those with an A.C. Moore in the area it might be a good time to pick up glue, ribbons, brushes. paint, picture frames, etc https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nicole-crafts-to-divest-out-of-retail-operations-300964565.html OCtoolguy 1 Quote
edward Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 They are closing the one near me, I always liked that store, and Michaels is taking them over. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) We don't have them in my area.. I'm curious what will happen to their supposed handmade selling venue they just started online this year.. By the looks of the site... it has little traffic.. This was a big deal and talked about launch of it in the handmade community but once they opened up the website... hardly anyone talked about it, LOL Edited November 27, 2019 by kmmcrafts OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Be_O_Be Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 We had Pat Catan stores close in this area and quickly opened up as Michaels. Seems like when one company tries to corner a market it never ends well. Quote
teachnlearn Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Recent article shows whole group of stores closing 2020. For an economy that is 'improving', I'm seeing a lot of brick and mortor stores closing in the towns i have lived in and check towns we would like to move too. Even moving to a new area, we are seeing stores with closing signs. RJF https://www.businessinsider.com/stores-closing-in-2019-list-2019-3 Edited November 30, 2019 by teachnlearn Quote
LarryEA Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Amazon and the internet, online purchases, home delivery picks up the loss of the B&M B&M's are not meeting consumer needs. What hurts B&M's driving in traffic; snow; finding a parking space; I don't like crowd shopping, especially Black Friday. But then seeing some of the clowns at Walmart is fun. Edited November 30, 2019 by LarryEA just felt like it Quote
rjweb Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 Yes online shopping seems to be the way it’s going, just think you can sit in your underware and purchase your gifts, RJ Quote
teachnlearn Posted November 30, 2019 Report Posted November 30, 2019 My wife and I talked about that when stores were closing. Didn't Sears start with a catalog with kit built houses and selling everything else to be shipped to the customer? Kind of going complete circle? How do buy pants, underwear, shoes over the internet? Try a pair and ship them back for a different one and on it goes til they fit? RJF Quote
