Store shelves were barely stocked. No one asked me if I needed help. Configuration of the store is strange and maze like - like IKEA, you have to walk thru the entire checkout area to leave even if u aren't buying anything. Usually they have good fall decor stuff so maybe I will come back then. read more

Framing department was very helpful! Polite service and good mat/frame suggestions. Three different employees worked together to help piece my art and frame combination together read more

Michael's is a haven for crafters and Gainesville is so lucky to have one now! It seems crazy that this location has been open less than a year - that's my wallet talking - because I really can't go in without dropping at least $100. Frequently. It's an addiction. From jewelery making supplies to cloth crafts, scrapbooking, floral arranging, wood burning, knitting, cake decorating...they really do have what you need! At the moment I am planning a DIY wedding and recently bought the supplies to make the feathered hairpieces for myself and the flower girls, the bouttoniers for my groom and groomsmen, birdhouses to paint, the supplies to make some giant pinwheels and some adorable cupcake wrappers for my dessert table! The staff are very friendly and I find it charming that when I'm checking out someone usually asks "So what are you working on?" as they scan my purchases, as if my creative ventures really matter to them :) read more

I've shopped at this Michael's a few times for random things. The store is always organized and clean. They've got some great deals on framing if you go on the right day. They seem to always be having a sale. The service is quick and somebody will always greet you. Check-out moves quickly usually too. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

I am not a crafty person, however just going into Michael's is so inspiring. It makes me want to be crafty. I always love the full shelves and the consistent layout of the store. I'm usually in for just the framing and baking departments. The store is usually quiet and the sales associates are always sweet and friendly. Sometimes there are two associates at the checkout and you have to wait but maybe that is a part of their strategy. There always seems to be fun items to look at (and buy) at the checkout. As a teacher I am especially grateful for the educator discount! Thank you, Michael's! read more

Great store to find anything you could possibly need- ex: my children's school projects- one stop shop and literally I've found everything needed to complete projects! Also a great store for scrapbooking or very cute bakery items as well as being creative and putting together your own special gifts. Excellent customer service and prices too! read more

It's about time! The newest Michael's store opened today in Gainesville, making a trip to the Mall of Georgia area to pick up crafting supplies unnecessary forevermore. Yahoo!! Not that it's that far to go, but we really dislike the mall traffic...especially on the weekends. We have been watching for awhile now this new store being put together and they do not disappoint. They have organized it very well with several crafts having their own little cubicle-type section. There are wide enough aisles, a good amount of stock on hand, and the framing department is to die for. The frame selection is plentiful and they have several new types to choose from. Of course there was a special 15% off your entire purchase coupon just for today that included even sale items. Such a deal! The "real" grand opening will be this Sunday with giveaways, etc. As we left with our purchases we were enthusiastically invited back for Sunday's "party". Hope we can find time to fit that in. Having this Michael's store here along with Bed, Bath, and Beyond, a new Ulta store, and Kohl's, will absolutely rejuvenate this grizzly little corner shopping area. Check it out. You will be thrilled to no longer have to drive to "the mall". read more

This location is ok. Friendliness of the staff is iffy. Several employees are nice, several are horribly rude. It is a smaller store so they do not have as much inventory as other stores. read more
