I use to come here to find all of my daughters supplies when she had projects at school… They always would hit the spot on my craft needs. Lately I have been going here for some flowers to take to my mothers & brothers grave. I like to change them out due to the season. The selection is always limited but you will run across some here and there. I try to make sure it is is a good sale going on to help save some money. I did find a few things for my wedding that was really convenient. I also like the Christmas selection they have when I am able to get there before the rush. Today I was looking for some waist beads… I knew they sold beads so was taking a chance on seeing if they carried some. Well they did not so I guess I will be looking else where.

Usually Michaels is dead but the day after Christmas is a different story. I was in search of a fake flower bouquet for a mini crafting project I’ve undertaken and while driving by I noticed Michaels. Plus, Michaels did have the flowers(although the selection was quite scarce). Minus, the line was super duper long, thanks to an older lady at register 1 who gave the cashier hell and made the line move even more slowly. In my opinion, the manager should’ve taken over that transaction and gotten that rude customer out of there. But no, I stood in line for a ridiculous amount of time for a couple of clearance items and two bouquets of fake flowers. Womp womp. I’ll make sure to come on a non-holiday weekend next time. Helpful tip: Michaels offers a 15% discount for teachers with ID.

I really like this Michaels. It is conveniently located, and easy to get to. They have a wide variety of craft supplies, but no fabric. This location has great sales after a holiday. If you want to stock up on supplies for next Halloween or Christmas, this is definitely the place for you. My only real complaint is that this location is always hot inside, and fairly cramped. They’ve got a lot of stock in a fairly small area. Why they can’t control the temp in the store though, is beyond me. If you need craft supplies, this is a great store. Also, check out their app. it almost always has a 40% off coupon.

For the third time, they have misplaced an item that they put on hold for me. A handful of times, the displayed prices were wrong. The employees never greet me, much less acknowledge my existence.

I love this Michaels location! They are never busy and always have everything I need and more. And I would rather go to Michaels over Hobby Lobby any day! I am big on crafting, scrapbooking, and baking, so this is my one-stop-shop for all those needs. I find myself coming in here at least once or twice a month. If I lived closer I’d probably be here once or twice a week. And it doesn’t help that Target is right next door! There’s tons of bargain bins outside the Michaels entrance that are always loaded with goodies. Most of the bins are discounted items that have been reduced or are seasonal, but it’s worth having a look. There’s more bargain bins set up next to the cash registers and other various departments as well. The best finds are stamps, ink pads(Studio G brand is inexpensive and works great), embellishments and decorative note cards and post-its. Michaels is the absolute best place for seasonal items too! I especially love their Halloween and Christmas merchandise. They stock ahead of time, so you’ll see Easter items debut in February and Christmas items in October. I recommend checking online to see what weekly deals are being offered before coming in. Some weeks they have scrapbook paper going for 25 cents a sheet, and other weeks it’s buy one get one half off stamps. Their floral and frames departments almost always have a weekly special as well. Another thing I have to mention are the weekly coupons and specials. Every week the Sunday newspaper also has a coupon that’s good for 40% off one full price item. It’s best to put the 40% off coupon toward expensive items, like large frames and decorative art pieces. They also accept coupons from your smartphone and coupons printed online, and also offer coupons at the register good for the following week. I’ve also never had bad customer service here, which is why I keep coming back. The employees are nice and are happy to help if needed. Lines are never long, and if they do get busy all of the registers stay open. Why would I go anywhere else for my crafting needs?

I have been to this location several times since moving to this area and they usually have what I am looking for. Customer service seems to be absent here however. For example, the cashier I encountered yesterday was the absolute worst. No eye contact. No smile. No personality. In fact she came across like a robot. It was like she was being forced against her will to be there. Since when does your negative attitude become my problem when I am spending money in your establishment? Next time I need craft materials I will go elsewhere.

Im really not a big fan of Michaels which I would be if they had more stuff for example material, what kind of craft store dosent carry material? but anyway thats just my opinion, other than that its ok they have fun little stuff all over the store especially around the holidays.
