A.C. Moore Company Description
Some are content to merely collect and dust their tchotchkes, but others are compelled to make them. A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts is ready and willing to serve them (focusing on women 25-55). The crafty superstores stock silk and dried flowers, as well as art and scrapbooking supplies and picture frames (which account for about one-third of sales), yarn, seasonal items, fashion crafts, beads, and everything else needed to glue, paint, or arrange. A.C. Moore also offers in-store arts-and-crafts classes for children and adults. Its about 135 stores (up from just 17 in 1997) are located along the East Coast. The company was founded in 1985 by its former chairman William Kaplan and ex-CEO Jack Parker.
