When I tell you that I LOVE this store, I really mean it! As an artist living in the small town of Hamlet, I don’t have access to true art supply stores nearby. After searching online, I found Jerry’s Art Supply Wholesale Club in Greensboro—about an hour and 20 minutes away—and I couldn’t be more grateful that I made the trip.
From the moment I walked in, I was met with the most genuine and welcoming customer service from Erica and Patricia, who turned what could have been a routine shopping trip into an inspiring and unforgettable experience.
Patricia was incredibly kind and attentive while helping me find supplies, and when I shared that I was building an art portfolio for my SCAD application, her encouragement was beyond anything I expected. Normally, I’m not comfortable showing my work to others, but there was something so warm and authentic about Patricia’s spirit that I took a leap and shared a few of my completed pieces. Her reaction—her eyes lighting up as she pointed out specific details she loved—made me pause and truly see my own work in a new way. As my own worst critic, this was a moment I’ll never forget. I may or may not have given her a surprise hug in my excitement, but she was just that awesome!
Then there’s Erica—an absolute gem! Her bright, sparkling eyes when talking about art techniques and supplies showed just how passionate she is, not just as an artist but as someone who truly loves her job. Even though she was busy helping other customers, she never made me feel like an inconvenience. She took her time, answered all my questions, and we even geeked out over the dream of owning a set of luxurious Caran D’Ache colored pencils one day! Her patience, knowledge, and enthusiasm made my shopping experience an absolute delight.
Coming to Jerry’s felt like fate—like the universe placed me there at just the right time to receive the encouragement I needed from Patricia and Erica. Whoever owns this incredible store, please know that you have two of the kindest, most passionate souls representing your business. They made my entire month, and I will absolutely be back!

Read moreWell I like the place well enough I didn’t buy anything tho.I write this review in hopes of waking up some people on how to sale or dare I say up sale.My daughter & I went in not even having been to or really heard about the store.We both big amateur artists we drove a good ways to see the place. We didn’t know about the membership I asked if it cost to be a member the young man said yes I didn’t inquire about the cost nor did he offer me a price. Bad on both of are parts but save me money cost the company money because we would have bought a membership if I had know it was 25$ a year which we would have saved our first trip if we had bought anything. But I could get most of it same or cheaper other places without the membership and seeing I live 45 minutes from the store I thought it not be worth a 100 or something membership. Yes I understand I shouldn’t have asked but felt like I was already putting him out by asking we were the only two customers in the store for the most part. There were two people...
Read moreI have spent thousands of dollars at Jerry’s. I’m an artist and a teacher and I have sent all my students to Jerry’s to get art supplies at reasonable prices. The staff has always been friendly and helped me carry oversized canvases to my vehicle. But today I had a terrible experience with the rudest staff at Jerry’s or at any store I have ever been in. When I ask for an empty box, they refused and accused me of cursing. They called in the manager Who told me I was only allowed to have the box I was assigned. wow! Beware of the box Nazis at Jerry’s. I never cursed at anyone Period Whoever wrote this response was not there. I stand by my account of what happened. How all of this could’ve been avoided if I was allowed to only have an empty box. This was made into a federal case for no reason. These people do not know how to treat customers. This is not the first time I have met up with these unhelpful and unfriendly staff but by...
