Sarah Skinner

Good store for craft stuff but somewhat overpriced

Tamara Mercer (Nova Board)

First time I have been here and I loved it. A lot of the products didn't have prices on them so I didn't buy what I wanted to buy. But the sales and coupons were amazing I will be coming back!

- V3RT1CAL

Always get 50% off coupons in my email but notice the product is jacked up in price so you just end up paying the regular price at 50% off. Watch out for middle aged women in here they will run you over with no remorse or hesitation.

Burke

Over priced

Rod Redden

I'd give a higher rating, however I have been to other branches and they had better selection.

Margaret Surette

Smaller than most of the other stores, but has everything I want. Friendly staff

Ben Sutherland

Real good store for all your farts and crafts needs!

James song

It was cool place.

A F

consistently the Sam at all locations

Josi Dowell

Great selection of clearance items but not as stocked as the other locations

Jodi G

So expensive for what you for some items. $12 for 3m of wire. That's crazy!

Nancy Gagnon

Was looking for stencils ????

Hayley Giles

Michelle's is great. It's Michaels. I just wish things were a little less expensive.

Carol Edwards

Always lots of fun shopping here, creativity comes to life just walking through the aisles.

Barry MacDougall

Great place to get all your craft supplies.

Elizabeth Grzesik

Staff helpful, and some good deals on yarn!!

Percy A Paris

I think this was my first time going to Michaels and actually looking for a very specific item. I did not find the specific item but I did leave with a purchase at a very reasonable price. The one floor person I spoke with was helpful and knowledgeable. I must say, the cashier was very courteous and when I questioned her about products Michaels may or may not have, she knew her stuff. As a retiree and a backyard projects guy, Michaels will be a frequent stoping place.

Dayna Scoulding

Slammin hot

M. A.

Large variety of materials. you can find practically anything in this place.

Nichole Vincent

Great prices

Selena Grcic

I always love Michael's. They almost always have what I am looking for - even oddball items most places do not carry. They have excellent sales every week and I love the 40-50% off any one item coupon each week. It is a great way to get expensive items at a reasonable price. It is nice that they carry crafting items for beginner to expert, child to senior and in many different types of crafts or crafting ideas.

Michael Anthony

This is a great little store for anything that has to do with arts and crafts.Has little nik nacs and basically anything you would need for crafts and such.Some prices are a little high but most are bang on.I buy all my acrylic paints and canvases here for doing my paintings.Once again the price for the paint is a little bit high compared to buying online but canvas prices are bang on.Sometimes they do little promos where you will get a free item for spending a certain amount of money or a percentage off your purchase.Great store.

Nicole Doucette

Huge variety of craft supplies, makes you want to buy everything though, be careful!

Brendan Aucoin

Great deals and it had everything a Micheals is supposed to have. Diffidently looks small from the outside but I assure you it is quite large on the inside with everything you would expect to find at a high end craft store.

amber Cunningham

109$ for a 24 count polychromos set...that's almost triple the price. lately they have been raising their prices so that they can offset their coupons. really not cool.

Andy Allen

Helpful service.

Paul Dowie

Love the coupons and senior discount

Mae Fredericks

Theater is very helpful. The prices are reasonable because overtime you will get most things with a discount they offer customers. They carry a large supply of stick. I have purchased everything from their picture framing expertise to sticks used for crafts. Parking is easy. Walking I. Is easy. Getting out of their parking lot got better when they put the 2nd exit in. A unique store and fun to shop at after COVID-19.

Kyle

Usually has just about everything you'd need, and often times more. I always find the pricing is far from competitive however there are constantly promotions and savings in their members app

Rob Whattam

Michaels is an amazing place to shop, staff is available and helpful but not invasive. Always awesome products and savings!

Marc Lanthier

Great place to grab craft stuff but no tap...... really, NO TAP......

Travis Conrad

Lots of stock but expensive

Brian Lager (Sandylns)

This is an OK place. Aisles a bit confusing, as is the general layout.

Anne Young

Way better stock levels than Bayer's Lake

Jay Haywood

Clean and employees helpful.

Lindsay Evoy

Pretty decent selection. I'm not keen on all the impulse kids toys at the cash register though

Ashlan Potts

This store always seems to have those "hard to find" items we need for crafting and decorating at home. If you use their app and use their coupons, you can get really good quality items for reasonable pricing!

Panda Girl

I love Michael's. It's such a great place to shop. 5 ⭐ I definitely recommend you go there.

darren mcphee

I'm Not Crafty.. But Best Selection and prices on Photo Frames anywhere.... And usually an extra 40% at least off with coupon..

Torra Brown

It will be better once the doors are open for the public to go in! Don’t like ordering on line for this store.

Kallus Maximus

Great place for art supplies.

Dave T

Great craft store, convenient location.

Carolyn Sawler

Really like this place. I just wish we could use the weekly Coupon for any item in the store.

Ted Hadley

Way over priced

Angela Hix

This is one of my favourite Michaels in the city. The staff are friendly and shelves are well stocked. There could be a little more variety but I believe that has to do with it being a smaller store than day Bayers Lake or Dartmouth Crossing. Even then they still tend to have everything I ever need.

Wendy Bevis

Very nice but very expensive to pricey for a person trying to figure out what to do for crafts and activities for children

Patrick K

Moderate pricing for arts and crafts

Liz Stewart

When the sales are on, Michaels is amazing. So much craft/hobby supplies, storage for said supplies and knick knacks!

Alan Truly

It's Michael's craft store, lots of supplies for painting, jewelry, cake decorating, journaling, sculpture, knitting.

Jen Oween

It's an arts and crafts store. Some prices are fair and some are over the top (just my opinion). Shop around unless you're stuck. Often online prices are lower, but if you want/need something for a project and can't wait, Michael's is a good spot to have a look.

Jil Evans

Very helpful staff, dog friendly!

Bruno Rioux

All good
