Michaels

This place is big and has a nice selection of items if you’re into crafting, mind you if this store has more of a general offering so if you’re really into a particular art/​craft if you’re looking for speciality items you won’t likely find those here. Finding staff is pretty absent so if you’re looking for something good luck in finding someone to help. If you give them your email they do send coupons which is helpful. When planning my wedding I did come here multiple times to find wedding favor type items. Overall great for your arts/​crafts projects and also they have a great selection of frames too.

I like Michaels. They often have much of the art/​crafts supplies that I need. They dont always have everything. Even if they do, its not always in stock. I was just in there today and they had no spray primer. I had to go to Home Depot. Also, as a brick and mortar store, the prices are higher than online. However, if you want it right now…
For those who use fabrics, JoAnn is almost next door.

You can probably call me a frequent shopper at this Michaels location — I go here at least once a week for my crafting needs. There is such a large stock of EVERYTHING that I don’t even need to ever end up going to an AC Moore or another craft store. Staff is always friendly and pleasant. I can say that I’ve been here more than dozens of times and never have had a bad experience dealing with their staff.

Jason and Brian are the reason I wanted to write a Unilocal review for this store. They were both so extremely helpful and knowledgeable that they made it an awesome experience. I had to ask Jason where several items were, items that I didn’t even know the actual name for and could only describe. He was able to tell me the exact aisle it was in and offered to drop everything he was doing at the time to show me there. Brian showed me some ways to save some money and make the biggest bang for my buck and offered some discounts I was able to qualify for. Both of them rock and really help this store for the better.

I come here sometimes to get yarn for my custom made Koofis and I used to make alot of my own designs on tshirts and do a some model car/​plane building and painting so every now and again i will come in and pick up some items
From pottery and sketch books to acrilic paint this place has all of your needs for arts and crafts

Staff was helpful, helped me track down something I needed for a project.

Honestly, this is a good store to go to for craft stuff. I bake, knit, create and paint and although some of the staff isn’t knowledgeable about certain projects, there’s usually someone there that you can ask. The staffs normally pretty friendly.
I bought a Loops & Threads knitting loom recently and one of the pegs broke off mid project (talk about sucky!). I called and spoke with them and even though I didn’t have the receipt (lost it during the Xmas shuffle), they’re good with exchanging it for me. I’ll be taking it in to exchange in the next couple days, so I’ll let you guys know how it works out.
My ONLY issue with this store is that it’s kinda messy sometimes, back by the yarn area.

The Michaels is in a great location, stocked well, with plenty of parking and it carries everything a beginner needs across every spectrum of the arts. That said, the tend to only carry the basics of just about every field, so intermediate or advanced artists may find the store a bit wanting. But if you’re just starting out you’ll find everything (and then some) to get your on your artistic career! Michaels tend to focus on towards scrap-​booking and decorating crowd, but there’s still plenty for the beginning illustrator, sculptor or painter.
That aside, the problem with this particular store: heat. The store is ALWAYS hot, the kind of hot where walk outside on a 90 degree day and go «Ahh, that cool breeze!» The store has little to no airflow, and they keep the temp far higher than it should be. It can be really uncomfortable at times. If the store kept its air conditioner up and running I’d give the store 4 stars, but as it is…

I have yet to have a good experience at this store. Maybe other Michaels have better customer service and nicer store sales people. This one is TERRIBLE! The first time I went to the store, one of the sales people practically threw me out, even though I just had to grab yarn. She first gave a disgusted look and told me off when I showed up 5 minutes before the store closed and then proceeded to announce on the loud speaker that in 2 minutes the registers were closing. Then, a couple of weeks later I tried to give the store a second chance and tried to buy yarn for crocheting a pot holder. Not only did no one in the store have any idea about the differences between cotton and acrylic yarn, but I was told pointedly that I should read one of the books they had — «Didn’t you read one of the books back there? We have a ton of books back there.» What type of customer service representative makes you feel GUILTY for not reading a book on products she is selling!?! Once again, I have yet to have a good experience in this store. It’s full of miserable people who refuse to help you. Go to the Jo-​Ann Fabrics a couple doors away from this store.

I’m a huge gift giver. This is my favorite place to find creative, unique containers for all the gift baskets I create for family and friends.

This is a huge Michael’s with a strong concentration on scrapbooking, art supplies and home decorating items. Known throughout the area as a reliable chain for kids’ craft gifts, specialized supplies for adult craft projects and artificial flower selections, you won’t be disappointed if you need a tool or a unique type of glue. Parking just outside the front door makes shopping easy. TIP: Be sure to check online for coupons because they won’t give discounts without them (silly, isn’t it?).
