Pearl Artist & Craft Supply

Something Strange afoot here. When you ask store personnel what's going on with all the barren non-restocked shelves at what used to be one great place to shop most all your fine art and hobby needs, you get a consistent blank stare and accompanying shrug!

Any idiot can surmise one of four possibilities at play here:

1) liquidating & closing doors

2) streamlining product lines or types of products sold

3) preparing for relocation

4) selling to another art supply company

What a lousy way to communicate with your faithful customer base. As far as I'm concerned, Pearl's may as well be closed. I won't be returning. Thank God for online shopping!

What a shame.…
