I typically go to Hobby Lobby, and this recent experience just proved my point. I placed a mobile…read moreorder at 8 this morning, called Michael's at 9 to see when my order would be available for pick up. The associate on the phone was so unnecessarily rude. I got the confirmation email that my order was ready for pick up and headed to get it, it was not there and all three associates in the store were just as rude. One even used vulgar language in front of myself, a customer, which I find to be extremely unprofessional. One of my items in my order was out of stock, even though the store just opened, and the associate acted as if it was an inconvenience for me to return its counterpart. I will not be headed back to Michael's and I am disappointed in the service I received.

Oh, Michaels. A…read morecouple reasons this particular chain craft store is worth a stop. 1. LOCATION. I love this particular location in Coralville, just off 965. 2. Coupons! Check online or sign up for their email distribution. You can almost ALWAYS get a deal on what you're looking for. 3. Shop online, pickup in the store for free! (They also do a great job showing you what aisle things live in the store online. So be sure you don't go in and leave empty handed.) The staff can be hit or miss. I've had super DUPER knowledgable, cheerful help and then... not so much. Just depends on the day! My basis for a three vs four star is mostly because of an online order I had this part holiday season. I ordered decor, paint and a wood craft. It said it was fulfilled and to come in to pick it up. When I got there, the wood craft wasn't there! When I inquired it was just a shrug, 'we ran out.' All fine... just COMMUNICATE please before I come in expecting my order in its entirety. Overall, a solid craft store. And really the only one of its kind in that part of Coralville. Stop in for a kid's craft, frame or anything else artsy.

Highly recommend! I just wanted to write this review that tells everyone how amazing my order was…read more Please consider shopping online and purchasing Fabric with confidence.

I would highly recommend Brooklyn Fabric company to anyone I know! happy online shopping!

Good selection and price, at $10 a yard. With fabric stores closing around the country, the…read morechoices are difficult on line and mostly more expensive. At this place, you get what you pay for...less. Colors and prints are good but fabric is thin and not of a tight weave. Im disappointed with the 4 cuts I got. I'll see what I can find elsewhere.

I've been missing out. My first ever Five Below experience was in the Chicago suburbs about 5 years…read moreago. I don't remember Five Below having the quality or variety then that they do today. We stopped in this location because a family member wanted to. Again, the Saturday BEFORE Christmas. Inventory was very good and they had a ton of great items. You can't beat the book selection, $5 t-shirts, games, toys, pet supplies, home decor and so much more. We waited a good 20+ minutes to check out. There were only 2 employees working. Definitely recommend Five Below. Just wait until it isn't a major holiday weekend.

This Scheels is located at the Coral Ridge Mall, specifically next door to Target. I love Scheels…read moreand so my husband, our little girl dog (yes Scheels are dog friendly) and I came by to this location this afternoon for a visit. When we came in, we had a few employees greet us and smile as they saw our little girl (honestly it's hard to be in a bad mood when you sees you because she is so cute and will turn your bad day into a much better one). Not expecting to really purchase anything in particular, we just walked around the store and browsed. This location sells Iowa University clothing, that can be found on the first floor. There is also a mascot statue of Herky The Hawk by the clothing section (an older version of this mascot). Upstairs, you can find rifles, binoculars, etc. But most importantly the dog section, in which our little girl was very excited to lead us to (although this is our first time visiting this location, she just knew where her section is). We let her choose what item she would like for us to buy her, which ended up being a resealable bag of dried salmon dog treats. At the register downstairs, this friendly employee had asked if our dog had picked out this item herself, lol. We laughed about it, as we told him yes she did. Overall, had a great shopping experience and would shop here regularly if I lived around this area.

How have I never reviewed Scheels?…read more I am grateful to have this location. With two kiddos that are active in a lot of sports, Scheels has come to the rescue a time or two. (Specifically, when I realized my son didn't have an adequate batting helmet for baseball mere hours before his first game of the season. I was able to order online and pickup no problem. He is insanely proud of his golden helmet, might I add.) This location expanded during the pandemic and has a ton! Hunting, biking, fishing, skiing,... a robust Iowa Hawkeye apparel section... shoes, apparel-- you name it! Honestly, my favorite spot to shop Scheels is online. I got some amazing Fornia clothes on clearance. My blazer I got is legit one of my favorite things and I spent less than $10-- what a steal! I also got some great Mud Pie Christmas decor super cheap online. It's open daily, parking is a non-issue. Staff is always so friendly and knowledgable. As I mentioned above, don't forget to order online easily for pickup.

In short, male assistant argued with me about a sale price. He was rude and firm. He continued to…read moreargue with me. I couldn't handle dealing with this, person and left my entire cart of items I was going to purchase and walked out irate. On my way out a lady told me how she has troubles with their rudeness As well. I demanded to speak with the manager. My phone call from him was not satisfactory. I found the same item on line for even less than my complimentary apology.

I do like JC Penney, especially since I've returned to working in a business-casual environment…read more Something is always on sale, but with that comes inventory that's really picked over; at least in my case. I either wear a very common size, or they only receive 2 of my size per style to begin with and don't restock very often. JC Penney has a petites section, which I take advantage of. I have shorts legs and very large thighs, so this department is a saving grace. Again, sizes can really be picked over if you're a 6-8. I find this to be the case at the Edgewood Rd. location in nearby Cedar Rapids, too. I visited the location at Coral Ridge Mall today for undergarments. Specifically, shapewear. Very picked over in this area, but I did find something that will work. Finding an open dressing room was another story. Most of them are closed, so you might have to wait to try things on. Customer service has always been outstanding here, albeit hard pushes for their credit card. Today I was asked twice about saving 30%. I finally had to respond by saying, "I don't use credit cards." I know employees are only doing their job, but saying 'no' once is all it should take. Store is typically clean and tidy, at least through the week when I shop. Merchandising hasn't changed at the Coral Ridge Mall location since my visit a month ago. Displays and inventory all looked the same. Nothing new caught my eye in the women's clothing departments. It appears that once they've stocked for the season, that's it. I spent several years in retail, so maybe this is just more noticeable to me. A do have a complaint as far as a company policy is concerned: any rebates you earn (say around Black Friday) are given to you via a Visa debit card. These Visa cards have a very short period of time in which they can be used. I received a rebate card of $10 in December and the card expired in June of 2022. 6 months is not long.
