Despite coming here on a regular basis, I realized I've never reviewed this place - and it deserves…read morea nice, 5-star review. It wasn't until I hit a couple of the other Michaels' locations in the state that I realized how awesome this particular location is. The staff here has never been anything other than great. They're usually busy with stuff, so they aren't particularly amazing at *seeking* you out to ask how you're faring, but if I've ever approached one of them with questions about how to do a craft or where to find something, they seem really happy to help and usually will take me to the exact spot. Most of the employees seem super knowledgeable about various crafts too. The store itself is super clean and modern, too. It's a relatively new building, and it shows. Everything is always in its place, and while it might take a bit to find exactly where I think something should be, I always go "of course it's right there!" when I figure out what section it's in. The bathrooms are really clean, and the employees seem to do a fantastic job of cleaning up errant items. When I've occasionally put down a couple of my items to use the restroom, I'll come back to find them cleaned up already. (Which is annoying, admittedly, but still, great attention to cleanliness on the part of the staff) Check-out is the only time where you might have to wait a bit. The staff is always good about calling for back-up when the lines get long, but just due to the coupons and the usually-tiny nature of items that people pick up, it can take a little bit for each person in line to check-out. Like all hobby stores (which I still find to be an odd practice), Michaels offers 40% or 50% off various parts of the store on different weeks. You can usually wait out for particular sections to go on sale in order to take advantage of the better prices (though baking supplies seem to be very rarely discounted). Every week, they usually have a 40/50% off any regularly-priced item coupon available on their website that you can use, and on special occasions, they run one-day sales where you can get 20% off your total purchase including sale items. I'll admit Hobby Lobby is a bit bigger and has a better selection of various things due to the larger store. However, I've always found that Michael has a whole lot better selection, and it's open on Sunday. (Plus, depending on your political views, shopping at Michaels means not supporting Hobby Lobby)

This is my first time at this new location. What I like the most is that they were open on Sundays…read morewhich the other major craft store in town is not. It was pretty busy because it's a couple weeks before the holidays. The Christmas merchandise was pretty wiped out. There were lots of holes in and amongst The Christmas items. They had enough Christmas wreaths for the entire city of Cedar falls. They do not have a fabric department. They do have a large framing department, painting supplies, jewelry making supplies, kids craft projects, cards and wrapping paper and more fun stuff. Besides the Christmas Department being so shocked over I thought the other departments or nicely stocked. What I did notice was I didn't see any employees on the sales floor except at the registers. I didn't need any help but normally when you walk to restore your greeted by people and asked if you do need any help and I didn't see that today. They had four registers open and for employees behind the registers. There weren't any customers at the register when I approach them. They were too busy talking to one another that no one even offered to help me. I stood there for a very awkward 10 to 15 seconds until they noticed me. The cashier that did offer to help me was very friendly. She commented on the cute craft that I was buying and when she was done she told me to have a wonderful Christmas. I'm sure I'll be back. Either because I'm over by the target store or it Sunday. Otherwise I'll probably go to the other major craft store in town because they have more selection and better sales. I thought the prices on items were pretty much the same as hobby lobby. Although hobby lobby runs more 50% off are buy one get one free sales then I saw at Michael's.

Once upon a time in CR if you wanted games and cards like this you had to go to separate hobby…read morestores or comic shops and you had better know exactly what you were were looking for because while the shop keeps might know their main products- games, table top figures and trading cards were not usually in their repertoire. But for the last 11 years Steve and his motley crew have been changing that in this this brightly lit well stocked gaming shop. The selection here here is well varied and fairly priced. There is a nice selection of vintage pinball machine. One nice thing about this shop is if you are looking for a gift for someone but don't know the gaming field yourself - Steve has some very approachable and knowledgeable staff that are willing and able to help get what you need and want. Especially the main store manager who is sort of like Mel Brooks Character from Spaceballs - Yogurt, the wise and powerful keeper of the "up-side" of the Schwartz. He will guide you to the up-side and right side of whatever game you want to explore.
