Michaels is my go to craft store right now. Everyone working there masks up as do the majority of customers, unlike Hobby Lobby. My only wish is that they would get a bigger selection of cross stitch/embroidery fabrics. The size of the store makes it easy to pop in and out quickly to get what I need.

This was my first visit and I was very pleased. There were so many thing to do and look at that I forgot what I was there for. Plenty of staff taking precautionary measures with fave masks. Will definitely be going back for more hobby project materials. Like a craft flea market in a building.

As always a great store to go to to get creative. The staff was very helpful and when I asked a question rather than the good old pointing in a direction to get what I wanted, they stopped what they were doing, and took me over to the correct area and even made a few suggestions.

Lots of fall and Halloween things out. I went in for needlepoint AMD they had NONE. Only the threads. While look I g around at bead and charms to make a bracelet...the girl followed me around in every aisle. I guess next time...if I go...ill dress up more.

Michaels is a pretty good store. They have good selection, though they are kind of expensive. Its not as big as other craft stores, but it still has the needed materials. I would maybe come back here, if I couldnt go anywhere else. The store its self is nice and the customer service is good.

Michaels is a great craft store. This particular store sells Hot Wheels, I am a collector and found some I had not found elsewhere. Craft selection is always good and shelves are always plentiful for any craft supplies. Staff at this location was very helpful. Was a good experience overall.

Grab bags are a waste of money. Everything I got in 2 bags were all for schools. My stuff ended up in the trash cause I rarely go out and no school kids in my life. Was hoping for something useful or fun....stuff shouldve been donated not sold. Huge dissappointment. Dont see me going back for more of anything from there. Walmart process same stuff and lots cheaper too. ️

Having formerly received 2 employee of month, and multiple customer service awards and acknowledgements as a Michaels employee in another state, I am well acquainted with, and a big fan of the company policies and expectations when it comes to service. As such, I was very disappointed by the treatment received by, Erin, the current store manager at the Alcoa location.A family member of mine purchased a birthday gift online for store pickup. An hour later he dialed the location to see if the order had been filled, or would soon be, before he made the 30m trip there.The cashier who answered took down the order confirmation number and kindly asked him to hold. The call was then picked up by the store manager, Erin, who without acknowledging the order number had already been given, instructed that there were 70 other online orders for the day they were trying to fill. Our response to Erin was to request whether or not our order, placed an hour prior, for a single item marked in-stock when ordered/purchased for that location, was or could/would be filled before making the trip into town within the next hour to get it (for a birthday on the same day).Erin responded there were so many orders ahead, she was not certain ours had been filled because so many people had ordered online. She asked how long ago it had been ordered, we reiterated that it had been ordered an hour prior.In an effort to again get our question answered, we asked what information she needed to check our order. Erin said she just needed the name. We gave the order name, she took a moment to look it up, and again said she was unsure if our order could be confirmed because of her influx of orders, where our purchased item may rank in her cue, since how she had looked it up was not allowing her to know.So here we are, customers requesting a reasonable definitive answer either way, and are again, unanswered.Having been an employee, I know each store is equiped with multiple portable inventory devices that all managers and most employees wear which are accurate in instantly verifying what product and count is physically on the premises when an employee is not at a scanner or register.Instead of providing a solution, or bothering to easily check if that one item could be location confirmed or filled, or could not be, so we could devise an alternate gift option, Erin again expressed her overwhelm of orders coming into the store.As a compassionate and empathetic person having been in similar situations, I know it is store policy to not lecture customers on issues that are not the customers problem, especially if the customer has honored process and isnt asking for anything out of the ordinary. Michaels employees are empowered to provide solutions.After listening to her explanations that did not answer our simple question, we again requested if Erin could please check the single item and verify before the trip to the store was made. She asked how long ago we placed the purchase, and we again said it had been an hour prior. Without checking the item to confirm, Erin stated if it hadnt been 2 hours since the purchase was made, it may not have processed. Again, not our question.If myself, or my prior store managers had received the same call, we wouldve typed in the stock number on the device, then radioed a floor employee or pulled it ourselves, and/or confirmed to the customer if it was out of stock at our location and could be transferred from another, or not. It wouldve taken the same amount of time to do so, even when several lines were ringing and registers were 30 customers in. Ive done it. Since our 3 attempts to answer the same simple question were diverted, I asked for Erins name and title. She gave it, then rudely and intentionally hung up.Shout out to the kind/helpful employees at this location and others out there who create solutions/treat customers with the respect they hope to receive, even on tough days, I salute you.

I stopped in today after a family member called to tell me that many of the kids craft items were 90% off. I asked an employee about it, but they didnt know anything about this. However, if you go to the back left of the store where the clearance is, you can take items just a few aisles back to a scanner and floral to check the prices. I got an entire shopping cart full of gifts that were all 90% off.

I had a great shopping experience at Michaels. I am making a couple of props for my kids for Halloween. I had a list of items and had no idea where some of what i needed would be. I found an associate in an isle and asked her if she could please help me. She was so sweet and patient. She took me right to the items i was looking for and made suggestions about materials that may work or not for what i was doing. I wish i had remembered her name. I will look for her next time so i can tell her boss what a great job she did. The only down side was when i got to the register. One of the items i picked up was twice as much as it said on the shelf. Luckliy i had a 50% off coupon for one item to use for that. Next time i will take a pic of the shelf with the price so i can show it to the cashier.

Black Friday deals were not that great and she rang us up for two sparkly red felts when we had bought one sparkly red and one regular red... So we ended up paying .80 more... That made me quite unhappy but customer service was overall excellent and we found all of the items we needed for my sisters project.

Went here to pick up some stretced canvas for painting and was super excited to find they were 70% off. They really have great deals here. Also it looked as if they rearranged some of the shelving since I was here last and it seemed like everything was easier to find. Plus my girls had a great time modeling feather boas.
