If you are a quilter, sewist, crafter, or hobbyist, the chances are high that you will find what…read moreyou need for a good price at Joann's! I'm a quilter and it is sad to see that so many of the fabric stores in the Birmingham area have closed in recent years. But that means that I have been shopping at Joann's more now than I ever did before. Joann's doesn't carry much designer quilting fabric, but it does have a good selection of cotton basics suitable for quilting. It also has a lot of notions and other quilting supplies that usually can be counted on to shore me up during a quilting "emergency"! Max, the assistant manager of this location, is wonderful. She's knowledgeable and friendly, and most of all--UNFLAPPABLE! She is a multi-tasking queen! It is not uncommon to see her at the fabric cutting center, answering the phone, fielding questions from staff, and helping customers find what they need. Joann's doesn't just carry quilting cotton. They carry a full range of fabric from apparel to formal wear to home decor to upholstery to cosplay, and much more! Beyond fabric and sewing supplies, this location also has a good inventory of supplies for other hobbies (painting, drawing, calligraphy, knitting, cross stitch, needlepoint, upholstering, jewelry making, etc.) and also seasonal holiday decor. The cherry on top is that they allow my dog Nash to shop in the store, as long as he is on his leash and minding his manners. Win win!!! That being said, this store *could* use some improvements--a deep cleaning, new layout, and better stocked shelves. I'm hopeful that these things will follow as Joann's recovers from its bankruptcy difficulties. The store got a new general manager at the beginning of the summer, but I've never seen him. I hope that he will step up the staffing levels, because that is what the store seems to suffer from the most--understaffing. It can take a LONG time to check out because there will often only be one cashier handling both the curbside orders and in-store transactions. Also, there is often a lot of incoming inventory stacked up in the aisles waiting to be shelved. It is clear that the number of people working each shift do not have bandwidth to take that on also. (That isn't their fault.) Joann's has my loyalty and I hope that they will continue to serve the greater Birmingham community for many years to come.

The reason they filed Bankruptcy again could be because of the employees and why nobody tries to…read moreshop with them. The way that I was talked to today from 2 employees and 1 being a manager they might need to think about hiring new people or closing down. The way you communicate with people is the key! The staff is RUDE, disrespectful, on phones instead of cleaning up things so that they can put out new merchandise. So many boxes everywhere and you can't even push a cart down the aisle. I understand people want things but hire over night employees to come stock or take away the old stuff. IT is a fire hazard!!!!

They have some great options for curbside pickup and if you think the store has a lot of stuff, check their website out .... they have tons of items! Prices are pretty good as well, they were really busy when we were there so we didn't have any interaction with employees, except when we were checking out. But, they were friendly and careful with our items we purchased. We didn't even look at all the craft items they have (Christmas shopping day only, the day we went). But the store was large and they had lots of rows of stuff we didn't look at. They also have coupons on a pretty regular basis, so make sure to check those out before paying full price for something. Good store and good locations. We'll be checking them out again in the future.

So, at work yesterday, a co-worker told me that Michael's had a heritage display in honor of Black History Month. She also mentioned that all the items were on sale. Of course, I decided to stop by Michael's when I left work to check it out for myself. When I entered the store, I walked to where the seasonal items are located. At first, I did not see the display. There were no employees anywhere on the floor in my area so I circled back through and then I saw it. There was definitely a display, but there basically was not much of anything left. Most of the shirts, pins, jewelry, etc. was gone! I'm like...wow! It's only three days into Black History Month and they basically sold out of the heritage items. I hunt an employee down to ask when they are going to restock. She advised they weren't. It's just a "one time thing". Ummmm...excuse me? It's called Black History MONTH! Why would they not restock and we're only a few days into February? I don't like the store's strategy. I'm kind of disappointed. Not sure I'd go back..
