Lots of stuff, lots of things for crafting, sewing, making clothing, but not a lot of stuff for painting. The store needs to expand their floor space by at least 20% as it is very crowded and a bit overwhelming. There is a lot of merchandise here, that's for sure. And the store was reasonably busy with several shoppers around. They just didn't have what I needed today. [Review 10629 overall, 397 of 2019.]

Knowledgeable, great people. I brought my sewing machine in for what turned out to be a minor…read moreissue. They fixed it on the spot, explained to me how to avoid the problem in the future, and didn't change me anything for the repair. (And unlike some places in Bismarck, I didn't get any side eye for being a guy who sews.) They also have a good selection of vacuum cleaners for sale in the store. Their prices are good and, unlike the big box stores, theirs come with a warranty and they'll fix them for you if needed. They have a little parking lot. Their entrance is from the parking lot, not the main side of the street that their address is on. It's actually a little hard to see where they are until you drive past it, because of how the sign is angled -- I'll post a pic to clarify. I'd definitely recommend this place for your vacuum and sewing needs in western North Dakota.

The mother loaded 10+ toys onto the counter, the cashier by the name Samantha refused to check her items out and completely ignored the customer. She than told her to go to a different cashier. I could not see the name tag of the other employee that helped the customer but good job to her for handling the situation better than the cashier. She put all of the items back into the mother's cart and directed her to a different cashier. I was disappointed with the treatment the customer received from the cashier named Samantha. Let's be professional guys! The lack of training is not a good look As a mother, I felt bad for the boy anxiously waiting to take his toys home, personal problems should be left at home.
