Michaels

This is a typical Michael’s store. Great selection, but very overpriced.
If you are looking for something specific, it’s really hard to find it. There is not a lot of personnel in the store to guide you. A lot of times I find myself interested in something, but can’t figure out everything I need for the project and end up leaving without buying anything. Maybe it’s just me not being that crafty?

Over the past year, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of art supplies available here. There are many other creative and fun projects and supplies as well. The staff continues to be friendly and helpful. Retail is a hard job and as a customer I appreciate the work of the store’s staff.

Generally, I’d say this place is pretty great. Whenever I need something for a school project, this place is definitely the place to go. It has so much for you to be able to get really creative with so many different things. I’ve come here numerous times for several different occasions.
Only things about this particular Michael’s: the employees and the product organization. Some of the employees just generally seem pissed off/don’t feel like talking to you. I also feel as if you can never find one when you need one, so you walk aimlessly around the store for half an hour looking for something that you could have found within two minutes had an employee been available.
It’s not the whole store, but some sections of the store are so disorganized it almost makes me nervous. Clutter in general usually only bothers me a little, but some areas within this Michael’s are just ridiculously disorganized.
Also, the prices are a little high on certain products, but reasonable for others. (Shirt paint, for example, is way too expensive for my taste. Pretty sure one medium-​sized bottle was almost $ 20.)
Overall, though, great place to go! If you ever need anything for art or creativity, they will more than likely have it. And if you come across the right employee, they can suggest other things to make whatever it is you’re doing even better!

This is a large store with plenty of festive supplies. It’s a great place to visit around Halloween and Christmas time. The framing business is over-​priced, and even if you have a 65% off coupon, you’ll be paying a premium. They fumble the language on some of their ads to get you in the door and to the framing counter… and will often not ask you what kind of glass quality you prefer (if you’re using a large discount coupon), grouping you into the highest priced option. That said, the framing itself is of excellent quality and I have always been pleased with the end product. I recommend asking for the absolute cheapest frame, and then deciding if you really need museum-​quality glass.

Always a great place to get little gifts or stocking stuffers, framing, wrapping materials, décor, and of course the arts and crafts stuff that terrifies me. This store was nicely laid out and efficient with the checkout process.

Love this place! They have a humongous supply of everything from baking goods, art supplies, papers, gift boxes, scrapbooking needs… just anything «artsy» beyond your wildest imagination. They also host art classes too.
But the BEST part is their supply of «old school candy» e.g. Nerds, Sweet Tarts, Air Heads, Warheads, Sour straws… instead of trekking to Dylan’s in NYC, I can get a taste of childhood here! Woo!
Minus 1 star for the lack of employees (it takes me longer to find someone than buy something) + lack of gift bags (they only have ones for kids + babies, nothing appropriate for adult males).

I hate when my wife drags me in there. CAN“T STAND This place but there’s a girl in there that’s so sweet and so helpful. Here name is Maryjean. If wasn’t were her this would be a 0 star. i just hate finding stuff in there.
