More than a Craft Store!

Whether your looking for ideas, finishing up projects, or needing hands-on experience Craft Warehouse is the place to come. The Williams family has been in the retail business since 1980 when Jerry and Sonja Williams purchased three Ben Franklin stores in Oregon. In 1990, the independent-minded family’s business philosophy was going in a different direction than the Ben Franklin franchise, and the family was asked to leave the franchise. The Williams family, now with all three sons working for the business, branched out on their own. Their plan was to provide organized, clean, well-lit stores – staffed with friendly, knowledgeable employees – with the goal of serving the needs of the creative craft consumer. Today the chain is still run by the Williams family and has now extended to 750 employees in ten stores and two corporate locations.
