Plano's Crayola Experience Hiring 200 New Positions In Job Fair

PLANO, TX — The 60,000 square-foot Crayola Experience is coming to Plano in spring of 2018, and with it will come an estimated 200 new jobs.

The family attraction, which also has facilities in Florida, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, will be located at The Shops at Willow Bend mall between the food court and Macy's. In addition to the world's largest selection of Crayola products and souvenirs, the Crayola Experience will feature 22 different hands-on activities as well as live entertainment and access to more than 1,500 proprietary products.

"Crayola Experience is more than just an attraction. It’s a place where families come together to create, play and make memories that will last a lifetime,” Crayola CEO Smith Holland said. “When we visited Plano, we saw a friendly, growing, family-oriented community, and we can’t wait to be a dynamic and colorful part of it.”

In an effort to hire approximately 200 new employees, the Crayola Experience will host a recurring job fair every Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. until Jan. 27.

A grand-opening date for the Crayola Experience has not yet been announced. The attraction will be open 365 days a year.
