Michaels

My experiences with Michaels have been varied at times, but it’s a great place to receive supplies that fulfill both the professional needs or those of the occasional shopper. Moreover, this store on Gulf to Bay has handled «urges» and creativity be they drawing, design and art to keep the hobbiest satisfied while keeping the less creative returning for repeat business at this dealership including a growing in mindset and experience. Notwithstanding, prices have gone up, but the movement is valid to keep store shelves ready for Michael’s highly attractive customer base.
What Michael’s is selling, is top-​end merchandise. There are needs for painting, framing and
goods that no other concern offers. Moreover, Michael’s runs generous coupon discounts weekly, can substantially reduce final prices at the register.
Furthermore, I want to talk about today a Michael’s staff member, Don C, Assistant General Store Manager at Clearwater Mall. I spend a large portion of my income on hobby work in retirement that gives my life realism, while building to give to friends in the neighborhood and church fellow-​worshippers. Over the years it has been exhilarating to understand the world from a creative artist point of view and encourages many people who have crossed my path
including today, to discuss many art fields. As a student and a volunteer St Petersburg College, I have learned a new host of skills to tie into my craft work.
Don C. gave me a leap for joy, as Michael’s week after week failed to give renewed supplies
of sand for my growing sand art projects. Nevertheless, Don quickly lead me to another part of the store of which housed sand for display — -and there they were! canisters and canisters of fresh colored sand which I am about to use in my grandchildrens’ birthday celebration.
Thanks Don…
Thanks Michael’s…
I am bringing you a lot of young kids who just might «catch on» to the happy time at sand art.

This place has helped me to find a creative outlet with hobbies I knew nothing about. They have DIY magazines & all the materials you need there. I pulled up a coupon code on my phone in the line & hit the jackpot! I have plans on going again tomorrow to complete my unfinished project.

This is in a convenient location, to where I can stop by while out and about for other things. Much like some of its neighboring businesses, it is understaffed and damn near impossible to get an employee to help you on the floor. After walking around the store three full times without finding an employee, I got in the register line to ask a question, just to get misdirected, then have to wait all over again in the register line in order to pay.

Great store when you need something crafty. Mostly for crafters, but you can also use some of these products when doing stuff around the house. They have all sorts of materials and coatings here that you don’t find anywhere else.

This is a great Michaels. Has everything you could think of and always has amazing sales! Staff is friendly & helpful. There’s always a long wait to check out but that’s because it’s a great store.

This is not a store that I typically browser through. I usually dash in and out for a specific item. Today, I needed some Christmas ornament stands. This store is huge and luckily the stands were right up front.
As I looked around, I noticed a lot of ’50% Off’ signs. I am certainly not immune to the pull of a good sale. So, I moseyed over to the Christmas doodad and ornament section and started filling my cart with boxes of mid-​century styled glass ornaments. As of today, there was quite a good selection to choose from but I bet their Christmas inventory won’t last long. Despite the chaos and bedlam associated with 50% Off Sales, the store was neat and orderly.
I am not a very ‘crafty’ person but Michael’s is my go to place for any hobby or craft items that I may need.

Rude and unprofessional staff. Great items but WAY overpriced. What more could you ask for? Target or Joann’s…

In the mood to be completely robbed in buying a few supplies for a project, stop in here! Ridiculously over-​priced. They have some really fun things, but I’ve learned you can usually get it cheaper at Joanne’s or the dreaded Walmart. This store is very dirty and to be honest, I’ve had only mediocre service here. Next please!

I am here regularly for items such as Copic Markers, Strathmore Drawing Pads and Canvases. They have a great selection and AMAZING deals. Copic are usually ‘buy one get one half off,’ (which is great considering the darn things are $ 8 a pop) and pads and canvases are usually anywhere from 40−60% off. When compared to other crafts stores, such as Jo-​Anns, this place can’t be beat.
Plus, forgive my hyperbole, they have about a million coupons to save you even more money!

Lots of great stuff here! But the staff are fairly unprofessional. The first staff member that my wife and I asked for help wouldn’t leave her station to show us where to look for our stuff, but insisted it was «just over there». Our checkout lady was chewing gum noisily and clearly bored with her job.

This store has a huge inventory compared to others on US 19! I spoke to one of the staff who also teaches jewelry making. She was so helpful in sharing some of her techniques. Everyone is friendly here and craft classes are available. Great location!
