“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review for Michaels – Lake Orion, MI
Walking into the Lake Orion Michaels felt like stepping into a place where creativity actually lives. I’ve been in plenty of craft stores over the years, but this location genuinely stands out because of one thing that can’t be faked: the staff. Every single person we interacted with was present, attentive, and actually seemed to enjoy helping customers instead of just pointing down an aisle and disappearing.
We came in with a mission—Cricut supplies, rolls of vinyl, and a handful of materials for a Valentine’s Day project for the kids at the daycare. Not only did we find everything we needed, but the staff made the entire experience smoother than we expected. They didn’t just show us where things were; they walked with us, talked through options, and made sure we understood the differences between products. That kind of service is rare these days.
The Cricut section was fully stocked, organized, and easy to navigate. We picked up the machine we wanted along with several rolls of vinyl, and the employee helping us actually knew the products well enough to give real advice—not generic lines, but actual experience-based guidance. It made us feel confident in what we were buying.
When it came to the Valentine’s Day supplies, the staff went above and beyond. They helped us find kid-friendly materials, suggested a few creative add-ons we hadn’t even thought of, and made sure we had everything needed to pull off a fun project for the daycare kids. You could tell they cared about the outcome, not just the sale.
The store itself was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Shelves were stocked, displays were tidy, and nothing felt chaotic or picked-over. Even during a busy season, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming.
What really stuck with us was the attitude of the employees. They were friendly without being pushy, helpful without hovering, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. That kind of energy makes a huge difference in the shopping experience. We left with everything we needed—and honestly, with a better mood than when we walked in.
If you’re looking for a place where the staff actually cares, where the shelves are stocked, and where you can find everything from Cricut machines to holiday craft supplies without feeling overwhelmed, the Lake Orion Michaels is absolutely worth the trip. We’ll definitely be back.
Five stars, hands down.”
“Been wanting to venture out and visit other comic shops to see what I could find. I was not disappointed at all. Obviously tons of comics and cards (though I’m not a card person). The worker in the store immediately greeted us and asked if we had any questions. Fantastic store and I’ll definitely be back in the future.”
