Michaels

I know what you’re thinking… a review about Michael’s? Really?! Well, you’re the one who searched it!
Yeah, yeah, I know (and would normally agree) if you’ve been to one, you’ve been to them all, right? Well, almost. I mean they’ve all got the same stuff. Misc. arts and crafts and an exorbitant amount of crap with glitter on it. Seriously, what’s with the glitter? Glitter candles, glitter pine cones, glitter welcome mats, glitter incense holders. Enough with the glitter!
BUT, BUT… there’s also a frame shop hiding in the back and that is exactly what I I’d like to acknowledge real fast. They’re well staffed, exceptionally helpful and actually seem to care about the work they do. I know, shocker… a place that actually takes pride in their work. I’ve had numerous pieces done there and have sent countless referrals their way with never a complaint. A truly enjoyable experience every time. So, if you happen to be out looking for crap with glitter on it, feel free to drop a few pieces off in the back for matting and framing while you’re at it.
That’s it for this one. It is a Michael’s after all… What else could I add? «They’ve got cool paint brushes?!» I covered what was worth covering… move along and thank me for the fame shop tip, later;-)
Wait. One more thing. Regardless of what you get here make sure you get the coupon on line or out of the paper each week. It can mean as much as 40−50% off.

Be sure and follow me on Unilocal for other Myrtle Beach reviews. I live here so chances are if I like something, you’ll dig it too. See that little icon under my name to the left that says, «Follow this person on Unilocal?»…click that! We’ll be buds! Seriously, do it. I’m shallow and need that sort of validation in my life.

This Michaels has some of the worst customer service, it is also extremely disorganized. The cashier looked directly at me and told me to come to her line and then proceeded to allow another customer skip ahead in line. This Michaels needs some work to say the least.

Nice arts and crafts store. The 10 for $ 10 sale bins are my favorite. Can stock up on dollar pads and other items they have. I’ve seen some other crafts stores that have a wider selection, but this one is pretty stocked and has some good sales.
