US: Michaels to expand party offering. By Katie Roberts-Mason March 27, 2026 Having launched its Party Shop offering in stores across the US after Party City closed, Michaels is planning to expand the offering in 2026. The Party Shop is a dedicated shop-in-shop that rolled out at all locations late in 2025 to pick up the market share left after the closure of Party City. The spaces offer dedicated Balloon Bars and over the course of this year, the product assortment will be further expanded. Furthermore a range of the retailers' own brands, which comprise 70% of its assortment will be getting a refresh, starting with the brands Celebrate It and Artist Loft. Further changes in 2026 will include price cuts, with Michaels lowering everyday prices on over 3,000 items by about 10% across arts and crafts, The Party Shop and more. Michaels ceo, David Boone said: "The price reductions reflect its ongoing commitment to delivering value to its customers every time they shop with Party Worldwide. "Our mission is for Michaels to be the go-to destination for creating and celebrating in every community and that means making it easier and more affordable for everyone to create, celebrate and bring their ideas to life." In addition, Michaels has enhanced its loyalty programme which launched in February this year. The updated scheme provides consumers better perks and higher earning potential with three membership tiers.

Global Disability Inclusion Announces New Certified Disability Inclusive Program Seal: Recognizing Michaels and Path Robotics

Global Disability Inclusion announces new Certified Disability Inclusive Program Seal: recognizing Michaels and Path Robotics. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Global Disability Inclusion, a leader in disability employment and workplace engagement, is proud to announce the launch of its new Disability Inclusion Program Seal. The program assesses organizations that are creating better workplace programs for people with disabilities. "Our Certified Disability Inclusive Program Seal represents a new standard for recognizing meaningful progress in disability inclusion," said Meg O'Connell, Founder and CEO of Global Disability Inclusion. "The seal is unique because it has three distinct levels of achievement representing initial commitment to deep proficiency in delivering true disability inclusion. This is not a self-reported recognition - it's an expert assessment of an organization's ability to employ people with disabilities, while also accelerating shareholder value. The best disability inclusive programs deliver in both metrics. We are thrilled to recognize Michaels and Path Robotics for their progress in disability inclusion and their ongoing commitment to creating better workplaces." Michaels, the leading destination for creating and celebrating in North America, is receiving the Transforming seal, the highest level of recognition for over five years of deeply embedded disability inclusion practices. Its strategic programs span recruiting, onboarding, continuous staff education, and community engagement - all integrated into the fabric of the organization. In 2020, Michaels launched Makers Like Me, a program designed to support candidates with disabilities. The program has now expanded to over 1,300 stores across North America, 8 distribution centers, manufacturing facilities and corporate offices. "Disability inclusion is not just a priority at Michaels, it is part of our culture," said Casey McEuin, Head of Inclusion & Diversity at Michaels. "Over the past five years, our Maker's Like Me program has created leaders at every level while fostering innovation, belonging, and an environment where everyone can thrive. We invite other retailers to join us in advancing this mission." "Path Robotics is proud to be recognized at the Advancing level, by Global Disability Inclusion for our commitment to empowering people of all abilities while rebuilding American manufacturing with physical-AI." Heather Carroll, Chief Revenue Officer at Path Robotics, shared, "As the leader in physical AI for manufacturing, we're creating opportunities for wounded and disabled veterans to continue serving the nation, helping rebuild America's industrial base. Our autonomous welding and fabrication systems not only advance manufacturing productivity and quality, but they also enable manufacturers to hire a highly skilled, often underemployed workforce of veterans, ready to strengthen America's manufacturing dominance."
