Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff Corporate Office

Joe Miller was born in the back seat of a car in front of Boone’s Drug store in Boone, North Carolina. He would grow up in Boone and get his first job at this pharmacy. He enjoyed it so much, he went to school, became a pharmacist, went to work at this same drug store and eventually purchased it. Miller always loved art but didn’t know anything about it. He took some classes and soon, set up his own small section of art supplies in the drug store. He called it “Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff.”

What started off as a hobby with a few art supplies has now become a full-time business, with a warehouse and corporate office located on Industrial Park Drive in Boone, N.C.

In 2015, the company opened a second location in Ashville, North Carolina. Miller offers his art, as well as his art supplies, for sale on his website. The company ships worldwide.

The company offers a full range of art supplies, drawing, painting, and other art classes, as well as advice from the owner. The town of Boone recognizes Miller’s achievements and set aside September 9th as Joe Miller Appreciation Day.

Minted Corporate Office

Minted was founded in 2007 by current CEO Mariam Naficy in San Francisco, California. After touring numerous countries, Naficy wanted to bring the art of the world and use it in unique ways that did not involve retail. Minted operates an online marketplace of independent artists and designers who sell their products on the website.

The company began by offering stationery and invitations, but by 2012 was offering wall prints, party decor, and pillowcases. More than $90 million has been raised via Crowd Sourcing for expansion of the company, which operates in 60 countries and all 50 states. In 2008, the company began a program called “Design Challenge”, where artists submit their work for a particular project, participants vote, and the winner’s products are sold online.

Minted opened its first pop-up store in San Francisco in the summer of 2016. Headquarters remain in San Francisco, California. Currently, Minted has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
