“Horrible. I really hate this store. There are NEVER enough cashiers working. It takes another cashier almost 15 minutes to come assist ,meanwhile the line is getting longer and longer. I will never return to the one on City Ave.”

“I love Michael's because of the great deals and products they carry. However I like this location because of the people that work here and the convenience of the area. The workers in here are friendly and quite knowledgeable about where things are located in the store and on certain topics too. That's a big thing for me! If you do crafting or like to make things once in a while this is one of the best places to go outside of a hobby shop!”

“This place is a really cool spot. The owner and his staff are very knowledgeable and most importantly, Honest. There are so many people out there who lie to you and rip you off but not here. You can trust what you’re being told. If you have something to sell, you can trust that you’re going to get what it’s actually worth. These guys are the best and it is the only place I go.”

“Great place with a ton of books, it's huge, all the categories you're looking. It even has medical textbooks! Though a bit older. Lots of novels in every category. There is huge world history, sociology and political section upstairs. Most used books, but you can definitely find some that are like new conditions. Prices generally range from 4.95-8.95. If you have books, interesting mementos, dvds, or cds for sale, take it here and she'll give you store credit. Depending on what it's worth, most of my paperbacks are 2-4 dollars a piece. Overall great service, if you need a specific book, they'll direct you to the right section.”

“I love this place. You can’t really buy singles here bc their pricing is wonky but the store is nice, the staff is top notch, and I’ve never had an issue with a player here. And most importantly this is a great place for my wife to play and feel welcome which has more value than I can express in this limited space. The store has some areas it could improve but in the areas that matter most it is exceptional.”

“My family and I stopped by while walking through Center City. Brian O. was very helpful. He took lots of time to answer our questions and show us some coins. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Stack's Bowers if you are a numismatist in the Philly area.”

“I have only been to this place once but WOW!!!! This place was amazing. First off, Vaughn, the staff person that was there, was amazing! He was friendly and so welcoming, especially with the younger customers. Lots and lots of comics and graphic novels! This place also has a great selection of Warhammer minis and tables to play at. There was a ton of terrain. If you are in Chester, or visiting Philadelphia, come here. You won’t be disappointed!”

“You can get on your creative side with a store like Michael's. Always great prices and I find the best deals are after a holiday. They had Halloween decorations for 70% off right after Halloween. So I think it's a good idea to shop for the following year. Michael's also has great arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, scrapbooking, and a great place to get your pictures or posters in a custom frame. Michael's is another place that brings out the interior decorator that I should have been. This Michael's is located at 1415 Old York Road in Abington, PA. When you find time, check it out.”

“Excellent store with a great selection. I popped in to ask about games that are great for 2 players and they recommended In the Footsteps of Darwin - this was a perfect fit for us and we ended up playing several times that weekend. I love shopping in this store.”

“I recently bought a new Digitrax DCC system from the Yankee Dabbler. The service was great! Bob helped me put my order in over the phone. I live in Kansas and have to drive over 100 miles to find a good Hobbie shop. Nobody beats the prices on DCC systems. They had excellent shipping too. I paid on a Friday and it was here early Tuesday morning. I will be a life long customer. I hope they see this review. Thanks Russell J. Kansas”

“Large store with most of what we were looking for. Only gripe about this place is how difficult it is to find somebody to help. Also, the columns to hold the ceiling up are in the middle of some aisle entries making it difficult to navigate at times.”

“Good experience today. I had an unexpected experience about a week ago. Placed an order at my nearby location, and it was sent to another location. I was told this happens sometimes when the store does not have all of your items.Other than this, my experiences are always good.”

“Great lay out of New and Current books. Nice $1 comic selection. Ehile their "back issues" isn't the largest selection, they have the best group deal and I was able to close some gaps in my collection. Definitely visit them first before back issue hunting in Philly.”

“Great place for miniatures for your D&D type game. The owner will paint them for you if you want as well. He has some talent. I normally don't consider miniatures, but one really "called out to me" that looked like my D&D character "Donnie Darko" after playing with it with D&D there ages ago. I ended up not getting it unfortunately because I would've had to buy 4 miniatures because they came in a series pack, and I didn't want the other three. So, I just stuck with buying snacks there. But it is a great place to look for well crafted figurines and such.”

“I'm here two to three times a week. The store is a friendly environment that does many events. Tyler is awesome, and the Tuesday and Friday commander nights make my week.”

“The store is usually a bit disorganized, but they have a great selection. And it's not Hobby Lobby, so that's a bonus. Also - Michael's ALWAYS has daily coupons on their website that give you 20-30% off of your entire order.”

“I'm sorry for the people who've had negative experiences here with employees. The site itself if pretty clean but a little cramped. I have noticed throughout the years the game spaces have shrunk. There are so many more consoles available now a days that it leaves less room for games. I used to have to look at 2 sections of walls for games. Now it's down to one. And it seems new and used games are now combined. Kind of crazy to think about. Anyway I digress. This GameStop site came in clutch for me. After Target's massive failure for me to obtain a PS5 console and automatic cancellation of my order 8 times in a row (yes it's literal) I went online to GameStop and found limited availability of the console at this location. I did try to call but couldn't reach anyone. But I may have been calling off store hours to be honest. I was specifically looking for the GOW bundle. Well, this was one of the few locations left with a good amount of stock. I think people forget this store is here since it can blend in with the rest of the stores. I went ahead and placed my order online and received my pickup notice by that night. I'm sure it saved me the fact I got pro membership since the sale was only for pro members. Proud to confirm I picked up my order and it is in fact a very real feeling and smelling PS5. Yes, I smelled it. Don't judge me lol. Thank you guys for everything. I was surprised they have a system in place to track the stock. I received a receipt with a sticker label they put on my receipt and on a tracking form they have at the desk. It matches the specific console to the buyer so it ensures your console order isn't stolen. At least that's where my mind went. To ensure your order is safe and not stolen by employees it tracks order pickup and the correct amount of in stock. Pretty cool if I say so myself. At least now I can game this Christmas season and not have to wait a long time for more production. Now to save up for the PSVR2 and right back to this site for my preorder.”
