Michaels Stores

Michaels Stores, Inc., commonly known as Michaels, is a leading American arts and crafts retailer that has been serving creative enthusiasts since its founding in 1973. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Michaels has become North America's largest provider of arts, crafts, framing, floral, and wall décor products.

As of January 2021, the company operated 1,252 stores across 49 U.S. states and Canada. Michaels offers a vast selection of merchandise for makers and do-it-yourself home decorators.

Product Range

Michaels' extensive offerings include items for scrapbooking, beading, knitting, rubber stamping, home décor, floral arrangements, children's crafts, paints, framing, greenery, baking, and a variety of seasonal products.

The company also offers custom framing services through Aaron Brothers Custom Framing and online platforms. Additionally, Michaels develops over a dozen private brands sold exclusively in its stores such as Recollections, Studio Décor, Bead Landing, Creatology, and Ashland.

Acquisition and Expansion

In June 2025, Michaels expanded its offerings by acquiring the intellectual property and private label brands of Joann, a long-established craft and fabric retailer. This move enhanced Michaels' fabric, sewing, and yarn products.

The acquisition included the popular "Big Twist" yarn brand, which Michaels plans to reintroduce in-store and online later this year to better serve craft enthusiasts.
