“The most outstanding company to work with on a simple flag order or flap pole repairs. Always pleasant, patient and very concise with their communication about what is needed. Having cared for estates on the East Coast and the West Coast, no matter where you are You should use this company..”

“Recently visited this store and was amazed by the extensive collection of POP Funko and WWE merchandise. The store boasts an impressive inventory of video games, action figures, and collectibles. Additionally, there is a tech lab in the back that specializes in repairing most electronics. For top-notch phone or console repairs, be sure to ask for Shea M.”

“You're not going to beat Alix. From prices to positivity, knowledge and professionalism. This shop and owner are the best in CT.
I'm a big collector and stop in from time to time to grab single cards especially autos for my personal collection.
I value the conversation I have with Alix more than the purchase.
I have been to many other card shops in Connecticut. They are severely overpriced and way less personal. Do yourself a favor and go check out this little gem and feel good about collecting!!! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Recently bought a PS5 (believe me, I know I'm late) and it was the exact right price, but even still, the owner walked me through the specs of the model I considered--it's the digital only.

He gave me straight facts about the machine's capabilities, how it would retro-fit my PS4 cloud data, and how i may upgrade it in the future.

GamesIRL (they had me at IRL) was already a destination for me for the Saturday modern mtg crowd, but this sets the gaming shop in its own spotlight.

Thanks GamesIRL”

“Stopped by recently and the person running the store was very helpful and brought out a bunch of singles that I could look through. I also accidentally left my toploaders there on and I was able to grab them when I showed up the next morning. Very much appreciate the staff!”

“Michaels a is great place if you're into any sorts of baking, arts, and crafts. I used to go all the time back in high school and college to buy supplies for my art classes; painting, sketching, ceramics, photography, etc. I even used to buy their shirts which were pretty cheap to tie-dye.

Now all the rage is around cricut; they have an aisle with all the supplies you need. I even bought fake flowers and various of other items for my wedding (super budget/DIY wedding and I'm proud of it). I also buy yarn for knitting and supplies for embroidering. They have kids craft too which my toddler loves. They offer custom framing and helium balloons; their website allows for customization options.

When I went, I saw a room for where they offer classes; summer camp are offered and birthday parties can be hosted at the stores. There are 1,252 Michaels in the US and Canada. I think it's a great store for the artsy and crafty people; even if you're not artsy/crafty it's fun to look at. Don't forget to check their website for coupons!”

“Some of my all time favorite things can be found in this store, from a great selection of watercolor and alcohol pens, paints, and pencils to high quality paper, canvases, and more. Even the stock of impulse buy items from keychain rings, little toys and curiosity things are cool- and they've got these great candy choices. But my wife had pointed out out after each visit over the past year or two that we're for all intents and purposes completely ignored and even when trying to interact with someone when cashing out it does feel as if dealing with paying customers is way down on the list of things to be enthusiastic about.

We all have our good days and bad, but this feels like a long term trend.
I hope during our next visit that maybe that'll begin to improve.

All things considered, I love the store. I only wish that the people who work there felt half as good about being there.”
