Michaels Art and Craft Supplies

Michaels is the largest American arts and crafts retail chain, offering a vast array of products for makers and DIY enthusiasts. The brand has built a legacy as a primary destination for hobbyists, providing everything from professional art supplies and custom framing to home decor and seasonal items.

While the company is headquartered in the United States, its vast inventory is sourced globally. Many of its private-label brands and general craft supplies are manufactured in countries like China, Vietnam, and India to maintain competitive pricing, while certain specialty items and custom framing services are processed within North America.

Originally founded as a small shop in Texas, the company underwent significant expansion over several decades. In recent years, it transitioned from a publicly traded entity to a privately held company following its acquisition by Apollo Global Management. This move was designed to strengthen its omnichannel retail capabilities and solidify its position as the market leader in the creative industry across the United States and Canada.
