Crafts and art supplies retailer Michaels Cos. is warning that retail prices could be hit by the Trump administration’s next round of proposed tariffs on Chinese imports.
Michaels has “a lot of levers” it can pull to mitigate the impact, Rubin said Wednesday at a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. retail conference in New York. While he said “there is virtually no possibility of moving manufacturing into the U.S.,” the Irving, Texas-based company is looking into shifting manufacturing to other countries.
Michaels joins competitor Joann in bemoaning the tariffs. Joann CEO Jill Soltau said last month that crafting at an affordable cost is “in jeopardy.”
