Pearl Art & Craft Supplies’ Cambridge branch is set to close this weekend after 20 years in business in the middle of Central Square.

The monstrous Central Square store at 579 Mass. Ave. will be open through Sunday with most items discounted by at least 75 percent, according to store staffer Marlene Santavicca. But the store, with corporate headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., could remain open a little longer depending on inventory.

The store, Santavicca said, is one of about 10 “underperforming” stores that are closing nationwide.

Santavicca said customers can continue to buy art supplies at the company’s Web site.

  1. I got a chance to go in Last week and found it a 60% off what ever it is listed for. I will go again, but there is so much stuff that you need to go in and find what you are looking for.
    If you can find what you are looking for at 75% off then you can’t do much better than that. I would say that you should go by now rather than wait.

    What a shame. Got a lot of my supplies here for years. The Woodbridge NJ location, where I live now, is also closed. Sad, sad, sad.
