Reviews of Michaels (Gardener)

Alsirat Reyes

I luv this place

Grey Andreason

Very overpriced, cashier was extremely rude but it's the only real craft store we have in town

Jody Trudel

Shelves we're empty.

Dan Cunningham

Crafts

Patrick Bluth

Had everything I needed. Michaels is always a little pricey, but they have great selection. Store was clean and stocked and staff was quite friendly.

Allysa Lovatt

The layout changes all the time so it can be hard to find things

Caelum Gogol

Where to begin ! Simply the best art store to offer art therapy ( not in the store lol ) but a whole range of different tools for whichever art you find fancy :) keep up the splendid work ????

Linda Martin

The staff member was knowledgeable about the products that I was looking for. Although they were out of stock, he made suggestions as to what else might work, and suggested other stores nearby which would also carry them.

Cassandra Bruneau

Hit or miss. Great sales, over priced when regular proceed though. (cheapest place to buy jewelry if you're ok with some diy)

Royal WitCheese

Huge selection of craft supplies.

Amy Cutbush

Love the place I wish we had more time to see all the product I the store.

jose mendozachicas

Great

Boheefus Jr

It's good for the casual crafter. Their prices are a bit on the higher side but you're paying for the convenience of it all right there right away.

Eveline Fischer

Good prices on crafts

Somniatus Industries

Tons of options in art supplies, good sales, and significant coupons that can be accessed through browser, email or flyers. The store is clean and well organized and staff are helpful and friendly.

Jason Fortezza

Prices are very high normally, best to shop here with their coupon.

Carolyne Leroux

Found what i needed. Lots of stuff for crafts.

Stephane Plante

Nice place

Niall McKee

A little bit overpriced for a few items but all in all good spot for crafting supplies. lots of odd ball items that you cant get anywhere else. lots of help as well

Cindy Himes

Impeccable customer service, much better than Dollarama. I will shop there from now on!

Scott Bluenose

Well organised. Lots of options.

B K

Good selection, typically very friendly and helpful staff but, as is with this chain in general, definitely on the pricy side so you want to wait for some sales for anything you need a lot of.

Eugene T Morriseau

Lots of art supplies and stuff you need

Ange Speers

Have a crafting need? Michaels has it all! They have good quality crafting supplies and most things are reasonably priced

Brian Churchley

Every craft supply I've ever needed!!!

Amanda Rochon

I love Michael's but I always find it tricky to find what I'm looking for because there is so much.

Louise Radford

Clean and friendly place to be everyone is skilled in their profession

Marysol Deeley

They have a lot to chose from and it's all easy to find and clean.

Alastair MacKay

Everything you need in crafts for you and your home.

Matthew Hartnett

Very over priced, but they try to hid it with sales signs. The sales basically just bring them down to what everyone else prices them at

Eric James Mortimer

Great place to get all your crafting items.

Patrick Liscomb

Great place for supplies

Nasia Houvarda

As always, I was very pleased with the service, employees were kind and working well. I was disappointed that I couldn't find many of the materials I was looking for but its understandable since things have changed with Covid . Long delays on deliveries so many products cant get to the stores on time. Great offers today.. I stocked up on things that I use more often.

Pierre

It's kind of slow It only felt worse after last Christmas by wham kept playing repeatedly

Helen Gilbert

Love this place

Jordan Wolkowski

Nice layout, great staff, good selection. Extremely overpriced.

Mark Bailey

Big store which carries a lot of the things Michael's does

Darcy Penasie

This place has everything you need for your crafting bug a bit pricey also the dollar store is across the parking lot :)

LAURA THOMAS

Always has great sales on! Especially when the stores are bare of wrapping paper bags boxes or ribbon.

Dylan Myllyniemi

Has a large selection and usually has what you're looking for, it's a little pricey sometimes but they often have great coupon deals that help a lot with the steep prices

Sabrina Chunick

Love this store

Samantha Scott

Great store and staff!

Nathan Armstrong

Super Crafty

Jeffrey Mehagan

Nice staff is helpful and store is pretty clean,

Eric N

Lots to see but way too expensive!

Yvonne Rodrigue

Quick in and out. No long lines. ????????

Not a crafty person. Was here with my brother who is a teacher in Geraldton. He shopped for an hour.

Lots of knick knacks and inspiration for creative projects.

James P

Overall good selectoom5

Adam Whitney

Good organized layout, nice staff, moderately pricey

David Tranter

Went there to have an original piece of art framed. Issac was excellent. Very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and helpful! Talk to Issac!

Joe Zappitelli

Excellent selection with some great prices. I asked for help from the framing customer service lady but she was way to busy looking at her phone to answer three simple questions. Other than that, this store has great items and if you use the coupons and watch for deals it's a great store for Thunder Bay.

Wendy's Spirit

Very expensive.

J S

Nice nationwide store. Lots of stock and supplies. Whishaw their Canadian website had prices on it though.

Elena Riaboshapkina

I love this store! Here you can find everything for needlework and drawing ????

Dana Oestreicher

Has Swarovski gems on sale

Dennis Barron

Crafts store of all crafts store

Leslie Anne

Almost always have to wait in ridiculous long line at the checkout. But overall product selection is great

Hailey Sohlman

The store was not crowded, and I found everything I needed. I was looking for oil brushes and paint and had a huge selection. Almost everything was on sale so it was all for a great price too.

H&D Lammers

Lots of products!

Alyssa Franks

While the staff is generally friendly, they are always fairly slow, which makes it a bit unbearable when a line starts. Their prices are also too high, though if you look online it is very easy to find coupons. Much easier to order any craft supplies online with someone else.

Bj DeCorte

Nothing so much wrong with it, just not my kind of place

Afton Brown

Confusing store. Hard to find what you need. Not a lot of staff available to help.

Cheryl Anderson

Had everything I was looking for. Great customer service. Very knowledgeable staff. Will definately go back

Aldra Pawson

They have good sales.

Tarl Craigie

Insane prices

Thomas M

Its alright.

Jacinto Cruz

(Translated) Excellent memories (Original) Excelentes recuerdos

Sherie Fisher

Over priced on most items! Place was cluttered with inventory in the isles not yet on the shelves. Mostly friendly staff.

Arctic Sea

Michael's always has a great stock of supplies for all your arts and craft needs, though it can be on the pricier side the quality and quantity of products they have make up for it.

Val Walsh

Nice organized store

Stripes 101

Friendly staff, easy to navigate store and quite clean.

sharon oja

Awesome friendly staff with a wide variety of merchandise options for anyone.

cpsigmtr

Had what I was looking for

Stacey G. (IndustrialContortion)

Always bring your 50% off one item coupon

Anjelyn Alde

Fav store

Lichelle van ness

Staff isn't so great. Stock is usually low. I definitely recommend visiting small local places!

David Orr

They have an amazing stock of Arts & Crafts items for whatever your craft may be. The prices are somewhat high on many items however there are usually 40-50% off coupons available online that you can show to the cashier using a mobile device. If you need help in the store, I suggest asking for help at the front desk, there are not many staff roaming the store.

Roberta Ann Higdon

Good selection. Great deals

Raven Nicole

Great place for Arts and crafts, they also carry semi precious stones =}

Jessica Reinhart

Friendly staff and always a clean store

Melinda Arden

Curbside was very quick.

VeeVee Pops

Amazing staff made a wonderful experience for my kids. Thank you for teaching my kids a valuable lesson in kindness, generosity and the true meaning of Christmas. It's the little things that go a long way. ????

Don Tront

Friendly service

Jon L'Esperance

Expensive

jutka Austin

Michaels is good art store to buy things

Keith Debassige

The amount of different materials that are available in the store was a big surprise. Now I have a new favorite store to get whatever art project I'm working on

Prachi Sharma

Loved the place for Christmas shopping

Chris Laws

It should be noted that I am not an "arts and crafts" type person. So I am not really a good authority on what makes up a good craft hobby store. But here's the kicker. Whenever I go to Michael's looking for some craft type object or tool, I'm always able to get it -- and what I believe to be at a reasonable price. The counter staff is always friendly and reliable, and the online website is helpful too. I really only go to Michael's Craft Supply about twice a year, and I have yet to leave disappointed. The only reason I don't give it more stars is because I don't know enough about this type of business.

Aaron Goerzen

Expensive but it’s better if you use coupons from the internet

Sasha Prystay

Great store! Covers all your crafting needs

Ayla Raven

There was a time where I felt as though everyone there knew about art and art products, but the crafts section has grown to take up more of the arts in these stores - that's fine, but it is a stark reminder that ordering from currys is the only good and reliable way to get art supplies at a decent price. It just isnt as widely stocked anymore and has always been overpriced at this chain. Shame, really, for poor students and people who just started out.

Stacey Voss (Great Gifts and Parties)

Always have what I need and staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Taylor Bond

All your hobby and crafty needs can be found here! There is an abundance of things you can find, and new hobbies to learn! Micheals has the bits and pieces you need to replace that one empty item, and has everything youd need to get started on new projects. It would be impossible to list all the things you could do with the supplies you find at micheals, dream it and you can do it! There is often coupons and rarely a long wait to check out.

Amy Alexander

Awesome customer service. If you're like me and have an overflowing inbox and can't find your coupon, they always help out with that if they can see you do get emails from them. Got some of my favourite wedding decorations here for a great deal!

Jennifer Hipfner

Always a nice place if your crafty or of you are looking to start a new hobby.

Cara O'Brien

I go to Micheals when I have 50% coupons, I find it over priced usually, but has a really good variety of craft stuff.

Sharon Whittaker-Winslow

Price to high

Stephanie Bingham

Great customer service!

G Salmonson

Very pricey if you dont have the daily coupon and a couple pals...

Jin Kim

Awesome staff, but the checkout is always so very slow

Charmaine Barton

When I tell my husband that I'm going for "retail therapy," he isn't concerned because this is my go to store. All the lovely yarn and wool! Plus decorations, scrapbook items, framing (for finished projects), *very* helpful staff.

Casteel LeBlanc

Absolutely LOVE this store. It has everything you need to stretch your creativity! From kids and beginners to professionals, you'll find everything you need ????

Leslie Anness

always has the paint i need!

River Clair

Good place for raw materials, however very overpriced pre-made anything. Be a concious shopper.

Cory Koski (CokoBWare)

Largest arts and crafts store in the city. There is very little you won't find here. Prices are higher than you'd expect compared to online, however when you get a sale price or use their awesome coupon you'll get a good deal.

Melissa Girardin

Excellent store, large variety of crafting supplies and knowledgeable and friendly staff!

Geoff Van Brunt

Wide selection of craft supplies and specialty products. I find many items here not carried elsewhere in the city. It's worth coming in for a look even if crafting is not your thing... you'd be surprised at what they carry. Have had good experiences with their framing service as well.

Dave Boisvert

Great hobby store and great staff

Danielle Mathieu

Great stuff can find anything you need for crafts

Shelby W

Nice selection. Need to be more clear on coupon exclusions

Justin_ Fischer

It was awesome ????????

Mud Slingr

I needed to draw a 20" circle and I was able to find something here. I would have preferred a compass but they only carry 6".

EDWARD MICKELSON

Great service

Nathanael Wiebe

The price is not right should go down

Just a Random person

They had craft supplies, I needed craft supplies....it was like we were made for each other

Melinda Henderson

I am designing a costume for an event. I was struggling and an employee came and assisted me and initially helped me find the best products to use. It was inexpensive as well. Excellent service! Thank you Michael's Thunder Bay!

Estelle Nadon

Found everything I needed to make my wedding bouquet.

Elaine Wilson

Found what I needed quickly, the place was clean, and the employees were all so friendly. Pricing was on point for scrap booking and paint supplies. Loved it.

Adam

They have a great selection of art supplies for all levels! The employees are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Some products are a little overpriced, so you definitely have to price match. There are also always online coupons for 30-50% off, so make sure you check them out before you go!

Breanne Pirie

I love it for arts and crafts and picture frames ❤️????

AhhhTube

Lots of great craft stuff...but pricey for some things.

Cory G. Salo

A lot of the products have fairly high prices, but if you're smart and keep an eye on their sales and download their app to use the coupons, the deals are incredible. There is usually 40-55% off any one regular price item of your choice (with certain exceptions) every single day, which is awesome and makes it cheaper than places like Wal-Mart. They have a good selection of brands in most sections too, ranging from basic to big name, so you don't often get stuck in a "it's this or nothing" situation.

Justin Lee

Prompt customer service upon checkout

Bryan Feller

Hard to find items and loads of items out of stock, no employees around to help. Maybe it's just how I like to shop, but I don't want to wander around for a long time trying to find what I need.

Susanne Wickstrom

Michael's is a favorite retailer of mine~ Covid-19 precautions in place~not all clients were following the requirements~ all cashier's were open~great sale price's and selection~ puts you in the holiday season~ lot's of fun????

ROLLIE CAT

I'm glad we had this store conveniently located and readily accessible for my artsy project needs.

I didn't totally dislike Michael's just wondering when there will be more Halloween decorations at reasonable prices. Big store with alot of buying power. Tired of not getting a great selection because we live in the Northern Ontario.

Cassandra Elvish

Everything I needed was in stock. Store is clean, organized and well stocked.

J C

This place is playing a fierce marketing game with coupons. Does the customer end up saving in the end? Not really sure about that one.

Patricia Yusda

Found what I was looking for easily with the app.

Linda Bakker

Good sale and found what I was looking for

Darrell Kloosterhuis

It was fine but there us a lack of staff

Sandy Isaacs

Good

P.

The staff here make the business. Yes there are a lot if great products but it's the staff that keep me coming back. I was looking for a specific product and asked the staff (who were waiting outside to go back into the store after a fire alarm test) if there was any. They carried an alternate product which I returned a purchased once the store reopened. The store is well laid out with arrows and signage to direct foot traffic safely through a large store. With a bit more staff help, I found the product and was into the purchase line and out in no time. As always, I thanked the employees for working during the pandemic. They are the unsung heroes of this ongoing crisis.

T C

Pricing is over the top. Nothing is quality. How am I supposed to get my quilt on?

Francine Larose

Great selections

James Bond

Nice people helped me.

Wilf Thorburn

Price of an item was four for $6.00, but was charged regular price. Cashier said it comes up as $2.49 each and ignored my comment. I was in a hurry, and the check out is patheticly slow at best, so I was not able to pursue it further

Kenneth Patterson

I always enjoy this store. Has a lot of neat stuff to look at a crafters paradise. The customer service is not there. It is very hard to find an associate on the floor. Overall a pleasant shopping experience.

Great craft supplies

Amanda Brimmell

I love micheals because of there variety and quality items. Usually I dont have a problem there, however the employee I dealt with today acted as if though helping me was a burden. She was rude and unwelcoming. She huffed and puffed and rolled her eyes at me because I asked her to assist me reaching something from the top shelf. She questioned me in a rude manner acting as if I didnt actually need help in the first place. She rudely commanded that i help her move her ladder and acted as if I had been burdening her.. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate her help, but I don't consider her doing her job to be a burden. The whole transaction I was polite and thankful and did not give her any reason to treat me, a paying customer, that way. That was the first and last time I'll ask for assistance from any one at that store. With poor service and overly expensive items, I would rather shop at my local craft stores from here on out. They ignored a few job applications from me, but by God they made a mistake. I could have helped teach their employees a thing or two about welcoming customer service techniques. Oh well. This was the micheals in Thunder Bay, ON.

John Smily

Did not have what I needed

Bride of Valentine

Great store with a great selection, love the Halloween stuff every year. The go-to place for crafty kids, they have everything.

Linda Mcleod

Love the store

Anne-Marie Bellmore

Always stocked clean and fair priced

Richard Twiss

A little over-priced, but the selection is okay. I always go with my girlfriend so we can split up the order and use two of their 40% off coupons.
