Aaron Brothers Corporate Office

Aaron Brothers was founded in 1946 by three brothers, Len, Al, and Chuck Aaron. The company operates a chain of art supply and frame shops across the US. Their original idea was to make frames and artwork affordable so that anyone could have a beautiful piece of framed artwork for their office or home. The company began offering art supplies, as well as their own framed prints in the late 60’s.

Aaron Brothers is perhaps known for their 1 cent sale, which they started in 1975. The company offers a second frame, of equal or lesser value, for 1 cent.

The company was purchased by Michael’s Stores, Inc., in 1995. Michaels decided to close all Aaron Brothers stores and simply incorporate them into a store within a store at most Michaels locations. Links to Aaron Brothers have all been changed to Michaels Custom Framing.

Aaron Brothers corporate office is now located in the Michaels headquarters building in Irving, Texas.

While the company is privately owned, new CEO Dave Keil has stated that the company has revenue in the $500 million range. Three families, the Kurz family in Ohio, the Schmidt family in Michigan, and the Farbolin family in Georgia, who all owned part of the company, recently came together to form one corporation in 2015, under the name Honeybaked Ham Company, LLC. This consolidation allows the company to work together more easily and should allow for faster expansion.  honey 6
