I love A&C and I live in Inman but I actually wouldn’t recommend it for A&C. I think they really need to be as close as possible major T stop and/or a place with major foot traffic where people go anyway to do other shopping. Blick is already in Central Sq and I can’t see people walking 15 min to Inman when there’s so much product overlap.

Gatherhere in Inman seems to do well but they are very niche (stylish, high end) and have classes. It’s worth it to people to go way out of their way. I worry that for art supplies, people will just go to a Blick location or shop online rather than getting themselves to Inman.

I’m sure the A&C company doesn’t need me to say all this. They’ve got over 20 locations so they know that they’re doing. I wish Inman could sustain A&C!

I really hope you guys find a way to stay in the general camberville area!! :-)
