I have been here many times in the past year. The store is divided into 3 sections/areas (arts and…read morecrafts, equipment (like drawing tools, different kinds of paper and paint) and framing). The people working there are very nice. It's appearance on the inside can give a little bit of sensory overload (in terms of the colors in different areas in the store). However, they carry varying amounts of supplies so you might have to go online to buy them if items are not available in store. BTW 1) They have a point card where you could get 10% off each time you purchase something and collect the amount you paid (ex. Pay $15 = 15 points). 2) When you are shopping online, you will get free shipping if you buy things that add up to $39 or more.

My absolute favourite art supplies store of all time. First of all, the staff are amazing. They've…read morebeen consistently helpful and friendly since I started going there in 2002. Obviously a change in staff, but the manager has been around for a long time and a couple staff members had stayed and have been amazing and funny! Seriously, I used to just hang out here as a kid because it's an art store, I'm an artist and the staff is great. It's a very clean store. They always have what I need and things I didn't know I needed. The prices are far superior to Michael's and better than Curry's. Plus the discounts are great and the rewards program is solid too. Oh and did I mention it's animal friendly? I can take my dog for walks in Petsmart and Deserres, Oh and also the customer bathroom is pretty cool. And free bags, who needs to pay a nickel for a bag? All in all, it's a great store. One of my favourite hangout spots, I can test my markers and pencils and all that and talk to awesome staff.

I went there a few years ago with my daughters. The workers seemed young and unprofessional. The…read moredoors were initially locked even though we arrived early and no one was picking up my calls inside. BUT THEY WERE INSIDE. The building experience was fun. We had to share paint between another table. When it was done, the workers asked if we wanted feet on our frogs for better stability when stood up. One of my daughters said yes BUT AFTER IT BAKED THE FEET WERE SO UGLY AND WERE NOT STABLE AT ALL. I even paid to glaze them and called for the next two weeks to follow up. When I came to pick them up, they were not glazed. Waste of extra money. And the workers insisted it is glazed.

Muji is a Japanese store that brings simplicity, quality, and functionality to all aspects of…read moreliving. Their offering ranges from home goods, clothes, and stationery. In terms of clothes, there are some good basics pieces and they're often cheaper than Uniqlo with similar or better quality. Some of it is a lot more Japanese in nature so the cuts and styles may be a bit different than what you're used to. They offer really great storage solutions for small to large sized items, with the containers being aesthetic as well. Way better than the stuff from Amazon. They have a lot of smaller sized boxes that are great for storing makeup and other toiletries. They also come in a bunch of different sizes and are somewhat modular so you can mix and match based on your needs. I love that the containers can fit into the lids because they have half and quarter sized ones. They carry a toiletries brand called Public Goods that has a lot of no nonsense stuff that doesn't have a lot of additives in it and is refillable. It can be more expensive than other green alternatives though. They often have in-store deals. At the time that I went, you could get a face towel for a cheaper price if you spent over a certain amount.

Great atmosphere, courteous, diligent, outgoing, pleasant staff. Please continue to provide excellent customer service. I will continue to support & give them my business. 10/10: ***** ***** I highly recommend this location!

Beware of Customer service and return policies. They may ship you an unusable product and then…read morehide behind the internet sites' return policies. Read them! They are the opposite of Amazon or Prince's Auto. Note: An item (maybe returnable), there will be a restocking fee, shipping both ways is at your expense, if they agree to a return they may not make any of these costs know to you when they agree to a return. I would have kept the purchase I made and saved myself the aggravation. Deal with some other company or risk a substandard product and customer service. I extended good faith to this company and got a "got you" it's a "tough luck" reward for my trouble. Try Amazon they are great arbitrators for abusive retail practices. Over two months later I haven't seen a penny back. Michael

Michaels is a great place if you're looking for arts and craft supplies or even gifts for children…read more My sister used to work here so I would often visit this location to see what was in store. This store is great for scrapbooking products because they have aisles upon aisles of stickers to add to your collection. They also have tons of baking supplies (mostly Wilton products) that will be more than sufficient to aid you in your baking hobby. What I don't like about Michaels is that their merchandises are pretty expensive. Make sure to have a 40% or 50% off coupon when you want to buy something. This coupon helps make their merchandises more affordable. What I do like is that they offer cake decorating classes during the week for really cheap. I completed two of their Wilton cake decorating classes for about $20 each. The reason why I deducted one star is due to the slow customer service at the cash registers. Lines can get pretty long when there are only two registers open. They need to open up at least another register to get the lines moving faster.

I also needed a needle or something and she didn't want me to have to purchase a whole pack of needles for just the small toque repair that I needed so she located one for me, and also showed me an easy way to thread it! (fold it over first then stick it through the eye). I remember 'friendship bracelets' long ago and I think that if ever I needed to make another one I'd come here for the colour selection. Very friendly service and great selection.
