Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Remember the craft-store aisles that inspired countless projects with this A.C. Moore hoodie or sweatshirt tribute. The company opened its first shop in Moorestown, New Jersey, in 1985, then grew to 145 stores across the eastern United States. Its assortment ranged from scrapbooking and paints to knitting, floral goods, home decor and children's crafts, alongside a reputation for discount prices. For former shoppers, makers and collectors of regional retail history, this independent design recalls a familiar era without claiming official affiliation.
A.C. Moore began in 1985 as a single arts and crafts store in Moorestown, New Jersey, founded by Jack Parker and William Kaplan. Parker, its president, had merchandising experience at Woolworth's, while Kaplan, its CEO, had worked in fashion production. The chain went public in October 1997 and grew to 145 stores across the eastern United States, with corporate headquarters in Berlin, New Jersey. Its merchandise ranged from scrapbooking, beading, knitting, rubber stamping and paints to floral goods, home decor, framing, children's crafts and seasonal items. The retailer became known for discounts and price competition. Sales peaked at $598 million in 2006 before declining. In 2011, supplier Sbar's and its affiliate Nicole Crafts acquired the company through a merger valued at $41 million; A.C. Moore became a Nicole Crafts subsidiary, and Sbar's seven stores were absorbed into the chain. On November 25, 2019, A.C. Moore announced plans to wind down and close all 145 stores, while selling selected leases, a distribution center and unspecified intellectual property assets to Michaels. All stores were closed by July 2020, when Michaels took over the distribution facility on A.C. Moore Drive in Winslow, New Jersey.
