Description

Artist and Craftsman Supply, a 40-year-old arts and crafts chain, files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, aiming to reorganize amid economic challenges. The Portland, Maine-based retailer, with 18 stores across 11 states, plans to open a new location in Westbrook, Maine, next month. The arts and crafts sector faces closures, with big names like Joann and suppliers like IG Design Group filing for bankruptcy. Artist and Craftsman, started as a small mom-and-pop shop in 1985, expanded and became employee-owned in 2016, but closed 16 stores over 9 years. Despite the filing, the chain stocks a wide range of art supplies and plans to continue operations. Checkout Solipillow.com
