As a resident of Alton, IL, I've experienced firsthand the inconvenience of the distance we have to travel to visit a Michaels Craft store. The joys of crafting, exploring creativity, and engaging in DIY projects shouldn't be marred by such travel considerations. The nearest Michaels store is just too far from Alton, leaving us local crafters with no choice but to embark on time-consuming and often costly journeys to this sanctuary of creativity.

We have the potential solution right here - There is an empty establishment located at 1751 Homer M Adams Pkwy, Alton, IL. Conveniently situated close to popular establishments such as Marshalls, Bath and Body Works, and 5 Below, this vacant property presents an ideal location for a new Michaels store.

Given the importance of arts and crafts in promoting wellbeing and creativity, having a closer Michaels store would be a significant addition to our community. It would not only benefit local craft enthusiasts but also potentially boost the local economy through increased consumer traffic and job creation.

Let's make this happen. Sign this petition to request Michaels to open a store at the identified location in Alton, IL. Lend your voice to our cause and help bring crafts closer to our community.
