This place is a gold mine. If youre as creative with using different art supplies as you are making art with them, you can always find a good deal. Personally, I like to multipurpose things and I found a pack of puffy paints on clearance for $2 each. I now use the empty needle bottles for my home made paints and pigments.

Specific to framing only. You know the type of “customer service” person that seems to be looking for a way out of doing your project? Yep, that’s here. Immediately put up obstacles and continued to do so. Will buy local although $200 more and get a better product and service.

The younger workers are extremely helpful. But the older workers are very rude, when you ask for help you get extremely dirty looks & not enough information & thentthen go & gossip. I would usally expect it to be the opposite with the different generations. The attitude is something of a bratty teens.

Michaels is great. This location is always pretty well stocked and, more often than not, i end up leaving with a cart full of stuff that wasnt on my list. The staff is friendly and helpful, bot to mention very knowledgeable and forthcoming with suggestions.

Y’all need new employees. My sister and I were just reading the sign on the door for our mom and some lady comes out with a nasty attitude saying “you need to have a mask to come in”. First of all I wasn’t trying to come in. Second of all I don’t ever want to come into your store now. Super rude for no reason.

I love Michaels and their prices BUT their management and employees need to get on the same page so their customers can get on the same page. Curbside pickup could be a breeze if we were all on the same page. In the confirmation email it doesnt state anything about having your id, where to park, where employees would like to put your bag ext. On the website it says 1. Order 2. Pull up 3. Bags are placed in trunk. But when I just went to pick up a curbside order, when I said my trunk was popped she kept repeating, were not supposed to do this over and over again. Not supposed to do what? Im still confused. Also maybe having some parking spaces in the front designated for curbside pickup could be very helpful for employees and avoid creating a traffic obstacle infront of the store.Also side note, people waiting to get in to the store were not standing 6ft apart. Its a crafts store, I feel like they could make some xs outside to help people create an organized line.I understand things are new and protocals are adapting but these things are vital in order to have a smooth moving, safe business.

Michaels is a great place to go for your crafts. They have a large variety of interests and great prices. I particularly browse their art supplies and am always happy with the selection of new products. Youll often find things on sale and if you download their coupons app, they always have a 40% off coupon. Its good for almost everything in the store.

If I could rate 0 stars for customer service, I would. The assistant manager in the store was extremely rude. Yelling at me on the phone, telling someone she wouldn’t go look for an item that was marked in stock, and being completely unprofessional. As she was yelling at me on the phone, I had to remind her that I was a customer and I did not appreciate the way she was talking to me and it was very rude and unprofessional. I am waiting to hear back from the head manger. That is completely rude for an “assistant manager” to talk to customers like that and I will no longer shop at this specific location and will recommend to all of my friends and family to not shop at this location and go to the other location or just shop at JoAnns if this is how this store treats their customers and deems appropriate. In no way should a store manager ever yell at a customer or demean them, and only stop when reminded that they are being incredibly rude and unprofessional. Be kind.

My only concern is that this store did not have a electric shopping cart. Theyve been hit heavily by the epidemic and were low on verities of items.

Very sad this year to find out neither Michaels store is stocking Hanukkah items this year, they sell these items but your either have to special order them (only a select few items) or go out of state. I bought many Hanukkah items from this Michaels last year, not sure why they have changed their local, seasonal inventory.

Im a crafty devil. I love to tinker and make crafts and when I found out that Michaels carried so many cool items I drop in just to get inspiration for my next project regularly! Here is why I rate it at 4 stars. I have witnessed the longest transaction between customer and clerk in the history of money. I swear, this is not the place for a quick shopping trip. If you excessively chat with the clerk at any store just know, Im back there in line, boring a hole into you with my eyes...... lol jk (not really).....

Arts and crafts, whats not to love? I get little odds and ends here for my craft projects. Bought a vinyl cutter here for a good price for Alaska. It was the same price on Amazon, but Amazon makes you wait a week or more.
