There are many amazing and unique businesses in North Alabama, but perhaps the best kept secret in the Tennessee Valley is right here in the heart of Huntsville! So, here it is… 10 things you didn’t know about Schoolcraft Parent-Teacher Store!
1. Schoolcraft is a Huntsville-owned small business.
Linda and Wilson McClellan recognized a need for a local school supply store and opened our doors in 1975. They have a convenient and central location on Church Street (just north of University) and offer free delivery to schools and churches within 100 miles. But Schoolcraft is NOT just for teachers – they are open to the public! Specializing in age ranges from preschool through middle school, their large showroom carries educational toys, décor, stickers, books, and more.
2. They laminate!
Have you ever needed something laminated and didn’t know where to go? Well, now you’re in the know! They offer double sided, heat-sealed laminating services. Our machine is 43 inches wide and always on. So, big job, small job, in a rush… they’ve got you covered.
3. They wrap your gifts for free.
If you ever need your purchase wrapped, just ask! It’s FREE! There are several options from wrapping paper to bags with tissue paper. No more worrying about wrapping that present later or buying more paper. It’s gift-giving made easy!
