McBead Creations

3 ½ stars if I could.
This place was a-​mazing! It was my last stop in the annual «Bead Bop» event, otherwise I might never have found it, as it’s nestled in a community area, on a side street off the main drag.
However, walking in the door, you get overwhelmed with beading ideas! It’s fantastic! the store is HUGE! The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. They offered coffee, water, and treats, and allowed me to peruse their selection of beads at my own pace. This store has a very affordable collection, some lovely wooden beads, some plastic, a lot of unusually carved items. They had a demo of one of their tools that looks like a ring, to help open a ring to attach something to it. Cool! They offer classes too.
Edited to add: while I was there, they did a demonstration of one of the tools they offer for sale. Very informative!
This would be a great place to bring your kids to, to learn some new beading tricks!
