“Fred is a very knowledgeable man and very friendly to work with. Made us very comfortable, took his time no rushing us. And he gave us top dollar for all of our items. Would highly recommend him and would return to him again in the future. Thanks Fred”
“My son has recently started collecting cards and a few months ago we stopped in to M&Js card store to look around. The owner was very nice, knowledgeable and very helpful. Talked to my son gave him some advice even gave him a couple cards to add to his collections. My son loves it there. So many different things to check out from cards to comics, POPS, wrestling figures. Great place to visit.”
“Recently discovered the store. It's a real gem. Too few toy and hobby stores like this left. Massive selection, everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and the prices are fair.”
“My daughter watched a YouTube video and informed me that we needed to go to Hobby Lobby for “squishes, NeeDohs, and dumplings.” Since apparently 6-year-olds are now planning our outings, off we went.
We never found the dumplings (or I completely missed them), but she did find Mini Brands and an impressive amount of Hello Kitty stuff, which is her latest obsession. That alone made the trip worth it.
This was her first time at Hobby Lobby and it was actually pretty cool to have a store nearby that she recognizes from the videos she watches. The store was clean, organized, and easy to shop. Parking was simple and there was plenty of it.
The staff were friendly, greeted us when we came in, and were helpful when we were looking for a few specific things.
We may not have accomplished our original mission, but we still left with a happy kid and a few treasures, so I’m calling that a win.”
“Incredibly awesome place! Their selection is fantastic, the people that run the place are all very nice, and it feels like a very welcoming environment for all people. It's everything you want in a local game store and more.”
“Friendly staff and loads of product. Parking can be tricky, and there's not a lot of space inside. Worth a stop of your in the area, or, if you're like me, you need something, and it's completely sold out online. 😅”
“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.”
“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!”
“Bill went through some old coins I had accumulated. He was very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining the differences in values. Very trustworthy. Would recommend”
“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“We have a business selling & teaching the painting of Ceramics. We can get most of Our supplies from Michael's.
We've been helped by Harmony (her name!) the last two times, & she's Wonderful!!
She pointed out locations of products, advised Us on prices, & offered suggestions!”
“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
“I love Michael’s. I’m a full time artist and you can get some ridiculous prices when things get marked down. Coupons are amazing. They really help keep me in business.”
