Irving, TX — Specialty arts and crafts retailer, Michaels, opened its first Manhattan store in New York City. The new store, located in the new Columbus Square development on Columbus Avenue at 97th Street, is 14,700 square feet and features an open, modern urban design, that includes wide aisles, warm colors, "inspiration kiosks" for project ideas and work spaces for customers to lay out their designs before purchasing. Tailored to the Manhattan shopper, this is also the first Michaels store to offer a delivery service.
A weeklong grand opening celebration begins October 25, 2009 and includes free craft workshops, product demos, giveaways and a special appearance by Martha Stewart.
"Michaels' customers have been asking us for a Manhattan location for years, and we think they'll love having the breadth and depth of thousands of creative products under one roof," said Michaels CEO John Menzer. "The Manhattan store brings something completely new to New Yorkers with everything they need for jewelry making, scrapbooking, fine art, custom framing, children's art, seasonal decor and much more."
