“Very cool spot. Went in looking for a specific Bandai model line and found it within five seconds of entry. After that, exploring the shop was fascinating. They seem to have laid it out from low to high difficulty projects, from the front to the back. Up front were my silly Japanese robot models, then shelves of TTRPG textbooks, then printable miniatures, all the way back to the store with the historically accurate scale models, history books, and tabletop terrain materials.
Very cool, will be back for more Bandai stuff.”
“Our family loves Battleground! They're one of the few places that still carries Lorcana cards, and we're so happy they do. They're very kid friendly, and are always so kind. They've consistently gone above and beyond offering answers and solutions. Brianna has been especially wonderful, and has even given our daughter free promotional cards and stickers. They make our day every time we come in, and we're so happy to have such a great local game store so close by!”
“Best place to get home brewing supplies. For every brew. Beer, Wine, Kombucha, etc. They have the freshest grains and a milling machine and fridges full of hops and yeast. They have what you’re looking for even if you don’t know it.”
“Just visiting Boston and decided to drop in. Ned was super awesome and friendly! The store also has fair prices on everything they sell and they offer military discounts. Highly recommend if you're in the area!”

“I went into one location nearby where the employees were not only unhelpful, but rude. So I then went to the wonderful Stoneham location! Casey and Amrita greeted me with a smile and were SO HELPFUL and amazing!! I couldn’t believe the difference in experience. I will only be going to Stoneham from now on. Wonderful staff and store.”

“I've had 12 custom framing projects done here in the past 2.5 years, and I could not be happier with how ever single one has turned out. The whole framing team there is awesome to work with and they are kind and professional. If there has been any issue with any of my projects, they've been totally willing to work with me to make sure it's fixed. I really appreciate them and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I also love their large selection of frames, mattes, and other choices for custom framing.”

“I have been going to this shop for 5 years now although it has been around for as long as I can remember in my preteen years. Evan’s competitive, realistic pricing is appreciated in a market currently being ravaged by scalpers. He has also ordered TCG supplies for me before upon request. Great place and happy to have it in town!”
“Very friendly owner. Great selection of boxes in a variety of sports and categories. The owner was very knowledgeable. Very simple shop that is straight to the point.”
“I've been very impressed with the customer service. Jim carries a great selection of kites and kite gear. We purchased the 13 foot Rainbow Bol and can't wait to get out to the beach to fly it.”
“Went for frame,etc, ended up paying for the full framing treatment. More than I intended to spend going in, but I know that with employee expertise and advice, it'll look better than if I put it together myself.”
“The glass on the shadow box holding my wedding flowers had fallen out of place, and Camden was amazing in helping us get it fixed so quickly! He knew immediately what needed to be done and handled the shadow box with such care, which I really appreciated given how sentimental it is to me. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and provided excellent customer service. This was my first experience working with the framing department at Michaels, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Thank you, Camden!”
“Jessica Scott is the best employee that works at Michael’s in Danvers ma. Energy abounds, always smiling. And always there does she ever get a day off? She needs to be rewarded…..truly rewarded”
“What can I say...I LOVE Michael's and find myself feeling happy whenever I go there. They have every decorating, crafting, art, baking, party supply item you could possibly need. The prices are great. The staff is nice and helpful. I especially love coming in during fall, Halloween and Christmas times as the decorations are always so fun to look at.”

Kayte was my cashier & she was great! I was having a tough day & she made it much better with her pleasant demeanor & willingness to help.
Thank you, Kayte! ✌”
