Honestly cannot believe it was my first time here! What an amazing establishment in Philadelphia…read more The Resource Exchange is located inside of a large warehouse with maker spaces and other establishments. You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.

My friend bought lots of supplies to make holiday cards for her work and had so much fun crafting!

I've come to Michael's twice now specifically for framing artwork. In the end, the framing was…read moreoutstanding. I'm extremely pleased with the end product. The staff I dealt with were very helpful and friendly if they could be found. On multiple occasions I had to walk from one end of the store to the front counter to ask for someone to help me. The store is large and has just about everything you could need for your arts and crafts projects. But again, staffing seems to be an issue here. I can't say how pricing is here as other arts stores are not nearby especially for specialty framing. Even with the "special 70% off" pricing, with some add-ons like better glass and inside decorations, my 9x12 artwork framing was $200. Not cheap. Took a few weeks to have completed. But I'm happy. This Michael's also does UPS drop off, I believe. And they have balloons. If you have some patience and can deal with some not so great or missing staff, I'd make the trip.

Today I was making a purchase of a product that I saw on the website, it had a great price, and…read morewhen I went to the checkout to pay, the cashier said she couldn't match the price. I didn't understand why. I said, "Okay, I'll buy it online" and waited for you to pick and pack it. The manager then jumped into the conversation and told me I'd have to wait an hour or more because she didn't have time to process the order. When I waited for the checkout, the product was in the same place I'd left it. She told me it wasn't ready yet, but then she told another employee that all that was left was to print the label because the product was there. Then she turned to me and said, "The printer was broken, if you want, you can take it without a receipt." She made me wait out of pleasure. THIS STORE IS HORRIBLE. ( THE EMPLOYERS)

Another first that McThrill is happy to tell the masses about. I first heard about Fishtown Airways…read morewhen they randomly friended me on Facebook and invited me out to a First Friday Party. and it might have just been the best random friend request ever; because since then I've been hearing about film nights, book binding workshops, clothing swaps, sewing help forums, and a whole helping of other fun filled occasions. Fishtown Airways is a progressive art store that does it all. But it's also an amazing spot to check out and purchase the work of local artists. If you've ever seen it for sale outside during First Friday, at a random festival, or at something like the Big Art Show; then there's a strong chance that you'll be able to pick it up at Fishtown Airways. I saw so much good art and shirts that were worth picking up when I was inside. but be forewarned it's cash only. You definitely want to check out their website, or their facebook, because they have at least 4 events going on each week. Wednesday nights they give local film makers a chance to air their work. they have plenty of DJ nights, fundraisers for things like PAWS, and plenty of artist workshops. and all of that is enough to make this store pretty damn awesome!

I wish I could rate Walmart no stars. This place is a joke and when you call to speak with someone…read morein customer service, all they do is lie. I was overcharged by $35.00, for a home delivery order in July 2025. I have spoken to around 10 people who always assure me that I will be receiving my refund. I did receive a check in October 2025 for $10.00. Someone can't count, you still owe me $25.00 which I have been trying to get. It is now January 2026 and I am still owed $25.00 but can't seem to get it. I'm sure it dosen't matter to a big corporation like Walmart, but I no longer shop or order from there. Walmart is a joke.

I bought a 16 oz. bottle of Scotch Spray Mount adhesive and paid $20. If you look online, you can get it for as little as $5. But if you can't wait for shipping or if you need to look at a product firsthand before you buy, it's a good choice. Compared with Pearl in Philly, it's smaller but it has free parking and no tolls. Note: For first timers, the rear entrance is exceedingly confusing. Enter through the front door even if you have to walk around.

The prices were LESS than hobby lobby and the usual horrible chain 'craft stores'. This store is for actual art. He also carries office supplies and other things. I hope people want to support such a great store in our town!! He even gave me a discount my first time in. :) can't wait to go back.
