Franks Nursery

Frank’s Nursery & Crafts, Inc., one of the nation’s largest retailers of lawn-and-garden, craft, and Christmas merchandise. With over 250 retail locations in 16 states, in such metropolitan markets as Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, Frank’s has also launched the Frank’s SuperCrafts store, a crafts store concept that it hoped to expand in new and existing markets. In fact, in the mid-1990s, as a subsidiary of the General Host Corporation, Frank’s was seeking to become a truly national retailer with over 400 stores nationwide by the end of the century. Vin Lee holding company Grand Metropolitan acquired the Frank’s Nursery IP registered since 1996.
