Not sure why but this store is not as easy a flow as others. Check out people never smile either, at least the ones I get...all in all it is still a good store to shop for things

My art centered daughter loves this place. She lives on the art supplies isle. Good prices and a couple of the staff really enjoy their job. Very helpful people and the store is well stocked.

Extremely crowded & only 2 cash registers. The only coupon that could be found was 20 percent off. Hobby Lobby always has a 40 percent coupon available. I was disappointed.

Good place to go when you need crafts and Hobby Lobby is closed. Seriously though, I found some super good post-Halloween deals. The store was clean and the associates were helpful and efficient.

I always find stuff in here that I love and the cashier always seems to find a coupon for me to use. I went in there to buy a $25 product and thanks to the knowledge of my cashier and her helpfulness I was able to get it for about $15. She helped me save money that I turned around and spent in the store as well.

The store is well organized. I found it hard to find staff when I needed help. There was no one walking there floor that I could stop and ask for help. I eventually went back to the front counter and asked for directions to what I was looking for. The older lady was very helpful and understanding. I was frustrated and she won me over with a kind spirit. Management, please focus on ensuring that your products are stocked properly. The soda cooler was visible but there was no sodas. There was multiple empty areas in the shelves where items once was. Ive done retail before... There shouldnt be as many empty spaces as I saw when I visited your 280 location. I generally enjoyed my visit but left with my substitution for what I actually came for because it was out of stock as well.

God I hate this store. I hate everything about it. I hate just the thought of having to go in it. However, my wife loves it and as we all know, that is all that matters.

Review №26

They did not have what I needed. The customer service was not horrible but not great either. I wandered around looking for my item and an employee. I finally went to the cashier and she got another employee to help but he seemed preoccupied. Ill probably go back if I need something else. I did see a lot of cool items.

Review №27

Visited this store with my wife and they have a lot to choose from, the store was a little upside down with boxes every where but understandable wit trying to get all their Christmas stuff put out. They had what we were looking for and staff very friendly.

I can not say enough good things about this Michael’s location. I’ve been in there three times this week! The store manager Angie is the best. She was so great with my kids, even my littlest ManCub who wasn’t behaving kindly. She invited them to an activity they do during the day and was very helpful in the store regarding our purchase. We’ll be back for sure!

I love craft stores even though Im not all that crafty. They always have neat new items to look at. A bit pricer than other craft stores but that did not stop me from getting what I wanted. The staff seemed happy to be there and quite helpful.

I love this store so much! They have everything I need from canvases to charcoal! Even things I dont need like the equipment to start a new hobby LOL! I love it here so much that I am no longer allowed to go unsupervised. But whether Im making the new blanket or working on a new drawing the staff is always eager to help me find whatever I need.

Review №41

The arrangement of the merchandise was a little odd to me. It was a bit hard to find some things. The workers were really helpful though. There was a sale on the paint I was buying and the girl who ring me up also made me aware of a coupon that saved me even more so that was a game changer. She is the reason I went with five stars.

This Michaels is very organized and the staff is always willing to help with a project. They offer fun exciting classes and its like a Candy store for hobby and craft enthusiasts. Floral. Stationary beautiful home decor. Everything for parties and weddings, generous parking and a safe location. Usually have a good sale items out front.

Review №58

They didn’t have as much selection as I was hoping for but the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was also very difficult to find what I needed - granted I don’t shop at craft places a lot so I didn’t ding them on this point. Also the prices on items seemed fairly outrageous to me but maybe that’s normal for a specialty type shop?

Loved it but $ is a little higher than hobby lobby on alot of it.

Review №60

I went in with my 50% off any one regularly priced item postcard that Id gotten in the mail with the mindset of looking for things to put in my fairy garden or materials to make things for them. Well like a idiot I left the coupon in the cart with my purchases while I went to the ladies room. Someone took all my items out, put them on a shelf and took off with the cart & of course the coupon!! When I finished my shopping and got to the cashier I told her what had happened and she was able to give me a 60% off 1 item coupon. So that worked out in my favor!! While there I was looking for something that would look like water. The associates were very helpful and gave me several options.

Excellent selection, good prices, and kind staff. I could never have asked for a better Michaels experience. In all my life Ive never been to a better Michaels than this. When I look back on my visit to this Michaels it brings me some much joyful delight that I can hardly bear it! This. This Michaels right here is the reason why i get out of bed every morning. Just knowing that a Michaels like this exists in this very state, country, continent, world, solar system, galaxy, and universe makes me happy beyond compare! Please take a nice little trip to this Michaels and you will surely experience this same feeling of utter and complete ecstasy as I did when walking into this fine shopping establishment. Thank you for existing.

It has pretty much everything you would need for crafts but it is a bit unorganized. Pretty clean with the exception of items not being on their proper shelves and flung about all over. Staff was very willing to take responsibility for my problem and make it right.

Review №68

I love crafting and Michaels is one of my favorite stores to get materials. They have an enormous selection. Almost anything you need you can find here: frames, beads, baking supplies, yarn, etc. They also sell starter kits with everything you need to learn a new craft. The prices are great and they have frequent sales.

The sales are pretty great but the cashier today did not speak a word to me. She grunted to me when I made small talk and grunted at me when she handed me my receipt. She treated me and every other customer like an annoyance.

You an always find what you need in Michaels. I compared with Hobby Lobby and noticed they are more expensive with the items I need like yarn, fabric and baskets. You can order online then go to the framing department to pickup. They have tons of coupons. I had a 50% off one item and told the cashier I wanted to do 3 separate transactions to use a a coupon for each item, she did it all half off, lol.

I love the store so much!!! Only thing thats a little sad is the staff seems either uninterested or worn out. They are nice but they arent the most cheerful people. I mean, I get it because we all get worn out by work and life. So Im not sure what to say but over all the store is great.
