I love this shop! They truly have something for anyone that's pop culture-adjacent! Movie posters…read more(some extra-fun retro posters from the 1970s and 1980s too), graphic novels, earrings, fridge magnets, and even something that so few comic shops bother with these days: a grab bag of kid-friendly comics for the youngest readers. (A side note: you won't find hundred-dollar statues here of comic book women in exaggerated poses. . .you'll see nothing that's not completely family-friendly. I find that a rare quality in comic stores these days.) The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and ready to help. You'll not regret one moment you spend here!

If you really need it, it's probably here...but plan on losing an arm or leg to get it…read more Stopped in this shop for the 1st time today. Definitely overwhelming on how much inventory they have. If you are looking for a certain card in the sports world, there's a good possibility they have it...but plan on paying for it. I gauge card shops by the price of the current boxes they offer - they had the hard to find 24 Optic Football blasters & Mega boxes but the blasters were priced at $75 and the Megas were $120. Even the Topps Celebration Megas were well over priced at $149.95. If I need to waste some time, I may stop back by to look thru one of their many boxes of cards but won't be a regular.

Their little vault bookstore room was so adorable and was really cute to look through.

The employees were friendly and helpful if you needed them. A great spot to browse or find a gift when in Charlottesville.

For weeks, months, nay, years, I was in search of reasonably priced 11x17 frames for my 11x17…read moreposters. I went to store after store but was coldheartedly rejected by the generic granddaughters holding sunflowers and puppies. But then, oh my goodness, suddenly the frames appeared... in Joel's office. Sadly they belonged to Joel and were holding Joel's posters so I couldn't just take the money and run. Also they were kind of high up on the wall and I don't think I could reach. Joel is tall. "Where oh where did you get those frames, Joel??" I asked. "Why, Michaels, of course," he answered, adding, "Duh!" No, he didn't really say "duh." He's very polite. So off I biked to Michaels, located conveniently in the nearby Barracks Road Shopping Center. Barracks Road is a great place to go to observe our dependence on foreign oil. You will see bumper stickers such as "My other car is also here at Barracks Road, because my family believes carpooling is un-American" and "I had to sell my other car to refinance my home mortgage and now it belongs to Bank of America." I took the escalator five steps at a time (see: Elf) and emerged on a large floor filled with everything. Gift wrap, knitting supplies, fall wreaths, wooden sculptures, halloween costumes, beach pails, posters, and yes, frames. So many frames! I walked around the frame section drooling for a while. ("Cleanup in aisle Frame!") Then I spotted the perfect 11x17 from across the room. I gave it a quick glance to see if it was looking at me too. It was! I approached it carefully, so as not to startle it. The $9 price tag begged, "Love me!" When we finally touched, I held it in my arms and we danced all night long.

It seems unbelievable that a company like Michael's could have such poor customer…read moregrievance-resolution process. From the store employees, to Customer Care, and ultimately to the escalation/grievance service, I encountered an inability- or unwillingness- to resolve what should have been a very simple problem: a special-order frame that was canceled the same day it was ordered, and the resulting balance that should have been removed from a new Michaels credit-card account. I received the credit-card bill before I even received the physical card. A company reveals its true nature through how it treats its customers - not only when everything goes smoothly, but especially when something goes wrong. The quality of a company and its staff is demonstrated by their willingness and ability to listen, take responsibility and find a reasonable resolution to a customers problem. Unfortunately, my experience with Michaels demonstrated the opposite. After calling the store, Customer Care and the Escalation service, I was still left without a reasonable resolution to a canceled order. Thankfully, consumers today have many businesses to choose from. After this experience, I will never shop at Michaels and will take my business elsewhere.

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.
