AR Workshop® was founded in 2016 by Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff.
A leap of faith, lots of heart and gallons of paint later the flagship location opened in Pineville, NC in June, 2016! After just a few short years, the AR Workshop concept has spread across the nation into over 120+ locations in 33 states! The vision to create an inspiring and charming place for all things DIY has now been shared with over one hundred new business owners and thousands of guests.
