Why are the art materials more expensive than at Pat Catan other than the store brand supplies ? Why isn't there a member discount card for customers ? I would like to see Arteza Art materials available .

That's probably why they bought Pat catan's and put them out of business. Pat Catan's had a better variety and was less expensive.

I believe you are right. There seems to be trend in closing less expensive stores of all types which can force people shop at higher priced stores. KMart. and some Giant Eagle stores for example. I agree Jeannine

Very sad they did this to pat catans. I guess we will have to use the coupon deals at a.c. moore craft store.
