I am working with some friends on opening a craft supply store in our city. There are a couple of Micheal's and a large JoAnn's in outer/suburban areas of the city, not near each other. In the most populated general area, where we plan to open, there is a Wal-Mart and a really great yarn store (we're probably not going to do a ton of yarn because of this, we hope to offer some of this store's inventory in ours, if possible). We hope to offer more convenience and a more unique selection than the giant stores.

I would love to pick your crafting brains about this. Please let me know your opinions on any or all of the following. Feel free to add anything else!

  • What would your dream craft supply store be like?

  • What are items that you have to order, or can never find in the above-mentioned stores?

  • Are there projects that require you to run to multiple locations for supplies? What are the projects and what are the supplies?

  • What items sold by places like Micheal's and JoAnns seem the most UNnecessary?

  • Do you take classes offered by craft stores, and or would you if they were nearby and involved projects that you are interested in?

  • What do you think about craft stores offering specialty/seasonal cooking (baking/candymaking esp.) items?





    Mods: I searched the archive and I know the rules, I believe this is an o.k. post, if not, I can easily delete it. Thanks!
