A Family’s Creative Journey Since 1980
Craft Warehouse was founded in 1980 by Jerry and Sonja Williams, driven by their passion for crafting and their experience gained at Ben Franklin Variety Stores. What began as a vision for an all-crafts store quickly became a reality with the opening of their first locations in Medford and Gresham, Oregon. Over the years, the Williams family expanded their dream, growing Craft Warehouse into a beloved family-owned business with seven locations across the Pacific Northwest.
Now under the leadership of their three sons, who continue the hands-on, community-focused approach, and supported by a new generation of grandchildren, the Williams family remains dedicated to sparking creativity and inspiring connection. Each Craft Warehouse location reflects their commitment to fostering a welcoming space for crafters of all skill levels to explore, create, and thrive.
