“This is a great store - always well stocked and clean. The staff are nice. Tonight I forgot my wallet and the person working the front, Anita, was very kind and helped me set up my apple pay on my phone. There wasn’t a line and I’m sure she had other stuff going on to close the store, but she took the time to walk me through the process so that I could go home with my matte varnish :)Thank you Anita!”

“This place is really great! Highly recommended! Especially to those people who really love stuff for crafts. This place is the best! They have so many interesting things here, their selection is very large, and the whole place is really enjoyable. This spot is very clean, cozy, neat, organized, and bright. Everything here is great! Fantastic customer service! Their employees here are really nice, decent, and knowledgeable. They all know how to treat their customers so right. Also, they will help you to find the things you need. They are so accommodating. You can also check out so easily because they have many cashiers. Awesome service. This Michaels is very accessible, their location is very near and easy to find. You can go to their spot in just a few minutes from your area. Very convenient. The only reason why I gave them four stars is because their restrooms need some repair. But their place is still my preferred place to buy things for crafts and others. They are way better and cheaper than other stores around the place. Plus, this Michaels is also a great place to buy some decorations for Christmas and other special holidays. You can also order online and visit their website. They will bring your order to you quickly. Really wonderful spot! All of their items have really good quality. A really must-visit place for arts and crafts. I will definitely go back here again when I am nearby and I need some crafts again. Thank you for your awesome service guys! Also, thank you for giving us such an amazing experience. Will see you again soon! Keep it up! Well done!”

“This place was amazing. It was so good that I wanted it to rate it infinite amount of stars. He gives the best discounts, tons of model options to choose and some of the best model planes that I have ever seen. The plane models were preassembled and such in good shape and quality. If this was your first time here, he will ask you if you gotten a safety card from a flight. Highly recommended! Go to this shop in your free time. This place is the best and now my new happy place.”

Truly gorgeous products (all kinds of real gemstones that I wanted to buy them all) and Anna and Diana are lovely people who are so helpful and kind. Glad to support this woman owned business. Love love love their new space and look forward to going back! This special shop should not be missed!”

“I'm a huge fan of Fair Game, and try to spend money supporting my friendly local game store whenever possible.As a Dungeon Master for my D&D group there's a great array of official content, third party sources, and minis for my game. As a parent, I'm thrilled by their large selection of games age appropriate for my 3 year old. Every time I walk in their staff are friendly and helpful, and it's an excellent environment for the kids in the area.Can't say enough positive things about the place!”

“I stopped by today for the first time in a decade and I had a blast with two young folks with autism who delight in all things train-themed, especially Thomas the Tank Engine! There is a very cool interactive model train in the center of the store, and then aisles of items related to trains- including art supplies, craft kids, books... and then also Legos and my favorite brand, Schleich! Fabulous Bruder trucks, too. I didn't interact with the staff, but they were present and busy helping all the customers. I also met several other train enthusiasts who were happy to share their love to Thomas the Tank Engine with my group and that was so special to me! Free street parking. McDonalds is right across the street so we stopped for milkshakes after the train store and it was the perfect afternoon!!”

“This was a great end to a tragic loss my husband passed a few months ago and he had gold coins I thought weren't worth very much well I was mistaken to my surprise”

“Been a big fan of heroes for years for a lot of different reasons. The owner is fantastic and their communication with social media responses is very quick. It's very convenient to know what's in stock and to get timely answers. Most hobby places I've dealt with in the past are very slow when it comes to responses/non existent. Outside of great communication, owner/staff are very friendly and overall fantastic people to deal with. To the fun stuff - it's a classic card shop with a great selection and cool memorabilia as well. They also do very fun raffles as well which is extra reason to continue to spend money on your hobby :) Keep up the great work!”

“Been all over the Chicagoland area in and out of sports cards/memorabilia shops throughout the years. I'll say Elite Cards is top of the line. When I say "top of the line", I mean both Ronnie & Gary buy-sell-trade with integrity. Wealth of knowledge in the industry. It's not just about making a "sale" with these guys, they're in it because they love what they do! A lot of shops I've been too, I've always picked up on the used car salesman vibe but not here. Straight shooters, no sugar coating, and or over inflating value on products they have. Simply tell them what you're trying to accomplish and they'll help you get there!Thanks guys!”

“This is a great toy and collectible shop. They have a great selection of toys and stuff. The prices on some of their items are a lot lower than other places. Great little gem for starting a collection or building up the one you already have.”

“We went to Archie's to see if they were interested in a variety of items we wanted to sell. The entire experience was excellent and conducted with clarity, great communication, and professionalism. Their offers were fair, and they explained why certain things were not valued as we may have expected. We felt very comfortable there and recommend it others looking for their services.”

“Decent games for a very cheap price. The people there are very nice. There is good drinks and candy for very cheap and I recommend going here even if you don't live in oak park.”

“Incredible shop, something for every level collector. You will not leave empty handed. The clerk it knowledgeable and willing to advise if needed. If your looking for something extremely specific I would call first a few days before so he can set it aside, at times they are busy. And cannot hunt the very rare and obscure. None the less I love the shop but no longer live in the state.”
