Some of you may only think of
ARCH as a discount art/drafting supplier
and might not even know
we have some of the finest
and fun-est gifts in town, but we do—
many even for under $10.
Some of you may have forgotten
that ARCH even exists
but, in truth, we’re alive, well
and thriving on Potrero Hill—
just a 3-minute drive from
the Giants’ ballpark in downtown SF.
Some of you may remember when
ARCH on Jackson had no parking,
but now we have loads of free parking
on Missouri Street and in our own lot,
plus terrific shops and restaurants
just 2 blocks up on 18th Street.
Some of you may already shop at
ARCH, in part, because you know
your loyal patronage enables us
to give back to the community
in the form of art supply donations
to local programs and institutions.
