Its central warehouse and distribution center have always been located in Galesburg, Illinois. Corporate offices are in Highland Park, Illinois. The company operates over 50 retail stores in the United States, including 11 that were purchased from The Art Store in 2004.

In 2013, the company acquired Utrecht Art Supply with the intention of eventually merging the brands.
