About Us

Blitsy is a Chicago-based e-commerce company making it easier to buy arts and crafts supplies online. Recently acquired by A.C. Moore, an east coast specialty arts and crafts retailer with over 135 brick and mortar locations, we are growing our team and looking for a merchandising associate to help make the Blitsy shopping experience the best it can be.

Our office is located in Chicago’s West Town/Ukrainian Village inside of a historic building that once manufactured paint brushes 140 years ago. The original hardwood floors are the same but we’ve added our own creative touch to our space – if you’re interested in working in a collaborative, dog-friendly, come-as-you-are environment each day, we would look forward to reviewing your portfolio and seeing if there is a fit.
