Michaels

How can you not love Michaels. The store. Staff is always ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ anywhere you go but the store itself is great. Seasonal selections. I love it. Very organized. It’s the craft world of Home Depot! One walk in the door and your hampster wheel starts turning and you walk out the door with a handful of projects. Prices aren’t bad. I guess it depends on what your buying. Somethings you can get less expensive elsewhere and some are more expensive elsewhere. This is a happy medium if you want a one stop.

I like this «drug» den (i.e. anything craft related). I always start with the clearance items. The store is spacious and clean. The employees are nice. If you upload the Michael’s app, coupons can be scanned from your phone (more than once). Bed Bath & Beyond, Dick’s Sporting Goods & Weggman’s are in the same strip mall.

Michaels has always been my go to for most of my arts and crafts needs (Yes, I enjoy arts and crafts). This Michaels is fairly new and located in a good shopping center at the Shops of Stonewall right off of Route 29.
There is always plenty of parking and the store is very easy to access. They usually put sale and clearance items outside so make sure you take a peek before heading in because you might be able to catch a good deal.
One of my favorite things about Michaels is that they have a large selection of picture frames. They even have a custom framing, which I have yet to use, but looks nifty. When I need a picture frame this is one of the first places I visit.
For the most part this store is clean and well organized. I’ve never had any trouble finding what I need and pricing is always clear. They do a pretty good job during the holiday season, which is when I find myself here the most.
My only beef with this store is the employees. I’ve never been impressed with their customer service skills. Many of them are young and either don’t appreciate having a job or don’t care about their customers. They never offer to help or greet me when I come in. On many occasions I have witnessed them chatting about whatever and not working. I try not to let this ruin my visits and lucky for me I know how to find what I need and where to find it.
Otherwise, I enjoy shopping here and this place will continue to me go to for arts and crafts.
*This business is gun carry friendly.

The framing department could use some customer service tips. I waited patiently there for 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged I was standing there. There were three women working in that department and two of them were with customers but it would have been nice to acknowledge I was standing there for so long and said something along the lines of «We’ll be with you in a minute. Sorry for the wait.»

Great store and is always clean with lots of merchandise and ideas for the crafter.
I agree with the other reviewers about the store layout. Easy to navigate and very well organized. Was just there yesterday and shopping in the evening hours is the way to go.

The best Michaels I’ve been too. It’s always clean & the shelves are always stocked. When preparing for my wedding I came here A LOT & found all kinds of things for my big day. Prices are great & the ideas are endless. It’s very well organized & everything is easy to find.

Another new store in a brand new shopping center in Gainesville — in the same shopping center as the BB&B in the previous review.
This is the nicest Michaels I’ve ever been in. The layout is quite a bit different — the center of the store feels and is more open — with shelf units that are much shorter than other stores — so you can see around. Only the outer perimeter of the store has shelves of a higher height. The store was very well organized, clean, and well-​lit.
A large portion of the center of the store is dedicated to scrapbooking supplies and tools. I never knew there was so much stuff available for this hobby.
It was also sort of strange to see that they had their Halloween stuff out in force. There were several aisles full of Halloween and Fall decorations.
