“Great guys there that know a lot, especially Gary. My trucks servo broke the 1st day and I brought it back in and Gary installed a new servo that was better quality. Works awesome now!”
“Brought in coins from my dad’s collection. I tried to find out the cost of coins on my own and was overwhelmed. Then didn’t even know how to begin to sell them. Went to Oakton Coins and Collectables. They went through them and gave me a price. We sold to them and trusted they were being fair! I’ll probably never know but made that deco to sell to them. Hard to part with my dad’s collection but we lived in Oakton for my entire youth and young adult life. Maybe meant to be.”
“The finest place with the finest things! Grails from the 90s to white hot new releases. Excellent LGS! Huge selection of unique minis and paints. They’ll have anything you need to get your next project done. Excellent game space with very high quality one of a kind terrain to play with. Many large high top tables and private rooms. Cool customer loyalty program that has been going for 15+ years. A true gem! Thank you! PS- The staff is awesome and receptive to checking stock within reason, don’t be one star guy who didn’t get his Pokemon that one time ? The boxes just hit different at G+ Be sure to stop in to preorder early in this crazy market”
“Love this cozy airplane shop. The owner is super nice and I love going through the many diecast airplanes he has on his store. I'm glad to see a store like this still exist and I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Chicago area. Highly recommended to all!”
“This has been my longtime favorite LCS, but Marc went above and beyond recently when he helped organize a week of educational programming for high school students, including a loan of some Roman coins for the week. I am very thankful for his help and will be a customer for life. You should be too, go visit this awesome shop!!”
“Rich's collectibles has a wide selection of many different collectibles and the owner is very friendly too. It's the perfect spot to find gifts for yourself or others at a great deal! Prices are very fair! Will be back again!”
“Nice store to visit, the guys at the front desk were very friendly and open to questions. Excited to hear they will be moving to a new location that'll be much bigger! And it'll only be a couple mins away. If you get a chance to, come and drop by this shop and support them!”
“Discovered this shop after a coworker told me about it. We where amazed by all the items and tools, even found some things i needed. Sad to hear about the closure of the store, sad i didnt get to experience Tom Thumb in its prime, but will make as many visits as i can until the end”
“Knights Edge is phenomenal! Not only are there many stellar pieces to look at, but Norman and Miriam go above and beyond by making this store an immersive experience. They were also very kind and helpful and answered all our questions (since we were first time purchasers).Again, I highly highly highly recommend this store, especially if you want to buy unique products/gifts and have fun while doing it!”

“Absolutely recommend 100%. I was tasked by my grandma to have a doll restrung. I was about to ship it to another company for much much more $$$. I didn’t know so I assumed that’s what it costs. I confirmed the address to ship it to and that company never responded. I reached out to GIGI’s. Emailed me back quickly. Very reasonable price. Told me how to ship it. Was returned fixed to me within about a week. Was very happy with it. The doll owner is very happy as well?.”
“Large store of new snd used HO, O and N scale trains as well as models kits of all kinds. Huge wall of detail parts may have what you need if you come ready to dig and look”
“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”
“This is a great spot if you are interested in coin collecting. We had coins to sell and Lucas helped us both times we were in the store. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and kind. He shares information and offers fair prices. We will be back.”

“A friend of mine is a regular customer here - and his birthday is around the corner. I figured I’d check it out to see if there might be a piece I could purchase as a gift. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable - they made us feel welcomed and no pressure to buy. Enjoyable experience and great selection.”

“Jane is always so helpful to me and I love far away so we communicate on the phone and email. She helps me with my custom belt orders and the finishing is always so beautiful for my ornaments!”
“The store is not close to me, but it has always been worth the extra time to make it out here. Chris, the manager, is mentioned in several of these reviews, and for good reason. He makes the atmosphere comforting that anyone, new or old, feels appreciated when they walk through the door.”
“don't quite understand the unpleasant reviews about Mr. Bergman(bergie) I've purchased from him MANY times and have had mostly pleasant interactions, maybe he has to be a certain way in a hobby we're everyone believes they "know more" or has different ideas of what memorabilia is worth, I'll continue to do business with the person who's been doing it longer!”
“I wonder if there’s anything different between Hobby Lobby and Michael’s art store. They seemed to sell similar things. 10 days before Christmas and Hobby Lobby is already having 60% off Christmas stuffs?
Maybe Hobby Lobby is a hair cheaper but also the interior is slightly darker and can use a remodeling.”
“I adore Ellie and the team at The Forest Needle. They are incredibly warm and welcome to beginner stitchers and gave me such a personal shopping experience. They have everything you need, and its so fun to go in and see all the wonderful pieces the team have created and show in the store!”

“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.”
“I would like share my experience today with an exceptional employee at this location. Pedro is his name and works in the framing department. He spent so much time with me trying to get my photos from my phone to a canvice picture. Unfortunately it was not going to work in the size I wanted. I'm still going to work on other options he suggested. Great customer serve. Hopefully I can work with Pedro again.”
“Recently purchased a new frame to display my diploma, which I had allowed to languish in the closet for decades and was reminded that in addition to craft items, Michael's also had a frame department. The frame, being oversized, had some built in hangers, but since I didn't feel comfortable with aligning the screw-in units on the wall, I simply wanted an old fashioned wire hanger on the back. Given my experience with other frame shops, I expected I would have to drop it off and come back the following week to pick it up. The young gentleman working in the department, Flavius, surprised me by telling me I could swing back within the hour and pick it up. I went off to do some shopping at the Eddie Bauer Outlet and within a half hour received a phone call from Flavius telling me I could pick up the frame! Thanks, Flavius, for a great experience. Wish all shopping could be this excellent.”
“Cool little spot. Took my 6 year old boy for 30 minutes and he loved it. They charge $5/15 minutes of racing and have better deals if you own your own car. Staff was friendly, helpful, and didn’t mind answering all my weird questions on the hobby.”
“I found gold and silver letters I thought we're cool but $20 a piece for the gold and $10 a piece for the silver? Take a picture instead it's cheaper...”
“Nice place but those self service machines are not so comfortable to use as supposed to. You definitely need to talk to associate a couple times before checkout.”

“Michaels is a really great art store you can get just about anything. I’m trying to find things on sale because if they’re not on sale, they’re kind of pricey, but you can get anything in the world. They are a great supplier especially for crafts if you are in the craft, this is the place now one thing they claim is that they purchased the rights or something to do with JoAnn fabrics and they claim they have a big section of fabric and they don’t. It’s very it’s too very, very short aisles of fabric and most of it is fabric that you would use to make on children’s clothes it’s literally one 100 of what you would find in a JoAnn fabrics store now they have like three aisles of yarn so good for that but not much in the way of fabric”
“Always helped me find what I'm looking for. (If in stock). Glad i found this place. Especially when grieving, My best friend took me there earlier in the week, days before my grandma's funeral. I'll enjoy it while I can. Sadly the mall is going to close the store without notice at any given moment
I live out of town so I try to go here while visiting my grandpa.”
“I recently bought balloons for my child's birthday party at this Michael's and was so impressed. I ordered online a few days in advance, which was an easy process with a good selection. On the day I picked them up the woman who helped me was an incredible blessing. I wish I had caught her name. I walked in with full hands and she had the balloons ready to go right by the door. I had already paid online, so the pickup was so fast and easy. Planning a birthday party and bringing it all together can be stressful, but this wonderful woman at Michael's made this part of the special day entirely stress free. Thank you! I would love to come back and order again!”

“Even though I don’t do needlepoint, I love going to Emily’s Stitchery. I do embroidery and love their threads and notions. How lucky we are to have such a lovely store in our area.”
