I have such great memories of this store, it's hard to believe it will be gone.

C. Moore's financial difficulty to operate several of their stores nationally that in turn resulted in closing all of said stores is most obvious by observing their soon to be closed Hampton store. It won't be rebranded as a Michaels. Small... — read more 

There's no sense in these closures I swear this on God this was so unnecessary and not required at all... everyone loved A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts and closing their stores for good is one hell of a stupid choice.

What is going to happen with this store now after they have announced that all of them will be closing? Will it close? Is there a list somewhere that can tell me which ones will close and which ones will be turned into a Michaels????

Is AC Moore closing even in Hanover? I mean Hanover? Hanover, of all places has to go and be closed as well? Now that's just plain silly. It's a regular store but valuable to a lot of us anyways. Will it at least be turned into a Micheal's? That's a... — read more 

is closing soon

closing in January of 2020

Hopefully the A.C. Moore in Blasdell will retain the same quality of excellence once it becomes a Michaels. I have no doubt that the store won't close but instead will be transformed into a Michaels. I am 100% confident in this.

Which A.C. Moore stores will turn into Michaels? Does anyone know?

They're having a sale in the Erie store. I wonder if they will become a Michaels?

Honestly this is such an excellent store. A.C. Moore outdid themselves with this location. It's so hard to believe that very soon it will be gone one way or another from this spot forever. I would have never imagined that happening for the Apex... — read more 

Does anyone have a list of the stores that will become a Michaels? And of those that will close?

Is there some sort of way to reverse this choice from happening... I don't know if my AC Moore in Knoxville will close or be changed into a Michaels. I don't like this outcome at all. How can we voice our grievances be heard?

I'm having such bad luck these days. My dog is sick, I almost lost my car keys for good and now A.C. Moore is closing all of their stores in Massachusetts. They will reopen as Michaels stores next year but that's not the same.

i dont know if i'll go to michaels after this buyout anymore. i feel such bitterness that they made ac moore disappear because they bought all their stores. i might change my mind if my local ac moore changes into a michaels instead of closing... — read more 

Do you guys know when the last day for the Bangor store will be? Please & thank you.

If Michaels lowers their prices after this ordeal, this might not be such a bad situation as we think it is... but that's unlikely to happen. I'm wondering tho, WHY close A.C. Moore...? Out of all the stores that need to close, why A.C. Moore?

It is the biggest tragedy in retail that A.C. Moore is closing. It's so depressing to think about that even for one second. Especially since I never saw it coming. Being an arts and crafts enthusiast is going to be a little harder from now on.

I don't care about Michaels. Please bring A.C. Moore back. There's still a possibility that you don't need to go the closing route. There has to be another way. At the very least don't close the Clarksburg store. Please.

And while I'm here anyway, A.C. Moore closed this store in 2016 because they lost their lease. Shame!

Does anyone know if this store in Davie, Florida will be transformed into a Michaels or just close altogether?

I think it is very well worth noting that not all of AC Moore's stores will close in the end. Most of them will be gone, but not all of them. Those stores will be rebranded as Michaels locations instead. And what's wrong with Michaels?

It will be closed before 1/1/2020

This is the the official statement: Forty of A.C. Moore's stores and an East Coast distribution facility will be acquired by former rival Michaels, which sells similar items. The affected stores will be reopened under the new brand next year. The... — read more 

This store always had what Ineeded and at resonable prices. My first craft store I have visited many years ago.

When is Yorktown store closing for good.

I can tell you this: A number of years ago, I was employed at an AC Moore in New Jersey. I was a very large, busy store. I was a 'Department Manager'. I had much work to do. I ran floor sales and outside orders, I had to inventory and order... — read more

Does anyone remember the A.C. Moore store located here at 400 Mill Creek Drive in Secaucus? I know I was not the only one who loved this store to bits while it was open. One of the best arts stores in New Jersey hands down.

WHY are they closing, does somebody know??? The A.C. Moore in Greenville NC announced that they are having a liquidation sale and will close next year on January 19th. They are a wonderful store and everybody loves them. It's a bad idea to abandon... — read more 

This was not a good store but I went to shop here despite of their shortcoming because I just couldn't resist their low prices. I'm weak-willed like that, yeah, I know. Don't give me any lip, you would have done it as well.

What was the reason behind this shuttering, does anyone know? Unless there was some external issues they were facing I am just simply drawing a blank on why they would ever shutter this store in Hauppauge. It was amazing.

Was it honestly truly necessary for this store to close like it did at 1834 Matthews Twp Parkway in Mathews? A.C. Moore was invaluable to me. I know that they have other stores in North Carolina but this one was my go-to store for all my artistic... — read more 

Saved a few pennies at this store and that's why it's a pity that they're closed. I always liked Michaels waaay better than A.C. Moore but A.C. Moore is so much more cheaper than Michaels ever could be so I could afford to buy their stuff.

My sister and I would spend hours at the store at 145 Middlesex Avenue in Somerville. A.C. Moore is just so special and this store in particular was very special to us both. When it closed both her and I fell into a depressive state.

So, so upsetting that A.C. Moore closed. I still do not understand why they needed to leave Warwick. I mean, I get why. That's how businesses operate, it's normal. But man I LOVED this store. Was there truly no other way?

So about this AC Moore closing..... I cannot even lie, I am just so indifferent about it. It was a bit unprofessional on how many times the supplies I needed were out of stock. I know that they would find me a "difficult" customer, but I expected... — read more 

Kinda sad! I like that A.C. Moore store quite a bit but it looks like that they will be shuttering it. The liquidation sale will start later this month and by January, the store on Hale Rd will be shuttered completely.

Who knows more about this?

I am really curious about what happened with this store. Yeah I indeed very well know that they have shuttered it but the question is - why though? I liked it. Did other people have some sort of issue with it so they stopped shopping here?
