AC Moore considering potential sale

Berlin, N.J. -- A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts said Tuesday it is considering a potential sale of the company.



The arts-and-crafts retailer revealed that its board is looking at strategic options to boost shareholder value, which may also include corporate financing or raising capital. It said there has been third-party "expressions of interest," but that it won't discuss any developments unless its board approves a specific transaction.



The company has hired Janney Montgomery Scott LLC as its financial adviser to assist with the process.
