COVID-19 Community Response FAQ

  • Stores have been provided detailed hour-by-hour cleaning protocols and to accommodate, all of our stores have reduced open hours to allow for additional time throughout the day for these cleaning protocols. You may notice that some stores may be closed or have further reductions in open hours, where we are following local guidance.
    Team Members are regularly disinfecting all high touch areas and are protecting Customers by cleaning shopping carts, register areas, and counters after each use. We are working closely with stores and our supply vendors to ensure they well stocked with the proper cleaning supplies.
    We are currently in the processes of installing protective barrier shields in all stores that are open to the public. These barrier shields will provide an extra level of protection on top of what we’re already doing.
    For the first time, we are offering contactless shopping through Curbside Pick-Up and Same-Day Delivery at select U.S. stores. Both are easy and safe options for customers to shop their favorite crafts.
    We have posted social distancing protocols in all stores and are reiterating those through regular PA announcements. Sidewalks and register areas have been marked to provide visual cues that help to reinforce the acceptable distance that the CDC has recommended.
    We are limiting the foot traffic to our Stores by temporarily suspending all in-store events, classes, MAKE Breaks and birthday parties.
