A.C. Moore
Remember going to your local A.C. Moore with your parents before the start of a new school year? The smell of fresh paper and pencils in the air? We loved walking down the aisles and looking at all the colors, notebooks, arts supplies and special papers. These stores were truly magical for some of us, and it’s sad to see this old institution go out of business.
According to the company’s spokesperson, A.C. Moore’s headquarters decided to close off all of its 145 remaining stores, and sell whatever’s left to Michaels, including intellectual property. We’re a little sad to hear that, but at least future generations would still experience these adventures under a new name and brand.
