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..

Returns are always easy, and the cashiers are efficient and pleasant. I do shop this location periodically. It's about a 50/50 chance on whether the stock is orderly and organized. The worst area is usually the cosmetics and accessories (to the far right in the store). If you like to dig through the additional markdowns, it's not unusual to find items broken, sampled, etc. Same for the additional mark clothing; every once in a while those racks look more like thrift racks than clearance, but once you find that diamond in the rough it can be worth it. I do wish this location got more of the special occasion pieces, but either I always miss them or they go to different Rack locations. If you've got the time, it's a great place to find great prices on everything from budget-friendly brands to designer brands.

Nordstrom Rack has discounted designer and popular high end brands that haven't sold in their Nordstrom stores. It's not uncommon to have difficulty finding assistance, finding sizes in the wrong place - specifically shoes, messy racks, clothes left in changing rooms, and a long checkout line moving at a snails pace. When shopping here I expect at least a 50% discount, but it's not uncommon to only find 25%-30% on discounted items. Even with these negatives, I've found great shoes and some clothing. I will return because I love the thrill of a good hunt!

Ollie's Bargain Outlet

I love shopping at Ollie's for the great prices and unexpected finds, but what really impressed me…read morewas the customer service. During last week's severe storm, the power went out while I was checking out with two bottles of paint glazing medium, and everyone had to leave their purchases behind. When I came back to purchase them the next day , the items couldn't be found and there had been the only two bottles left. , Desiree went above and beyond searching the store for them, apologizing, and genuinely trying to help me find them. We knew they had probably been put back in the wrong place. A couple of days later, she personally called me to let me know they had found them and were holding them for me. In a world where good customer service can be very hard to find, the employees at Ollie's on Greensprings truly stands out. Thank you for caring enough to follow through.

From an art supplies place, this place is as good as anywhere you will find in the area. They have it all, if you are drawing, painting, need to create a matte for a piece .... prices are good and staff is really nice (even to us non artistic folks). I'd recommend this place if you're looking for some supplies that are a little different as well. Really well organized space and worth a visit if you're in the area.
