Michaels is a go-to place for arts and crafts parts and ideas, with expansive craft assortments. The store is near and tidy, well stocked, and the staff is extra friendly and helpful. Customers find all kinds of painting supplies, a plentiful frame selection, fun seasonal home decorations, and party supplies. It gets creative juices going and serves as inspiration. Some note a minimal silk flower selection and that some items can be almost twice the price as other stores, while other things have a lot more selection, which can be a bit overwhelming. Customers report great experiences with the service and find good clearance items. The music is at a respectable volume and the McKinney branch offers balloon inflation and vouchers.
I still like it, but not loving the new design it looks more standardized. I kind of miss how you could see new random things. Now it's feels more commercial cookie cutter. Feels like it's more catered to kids which is fine, but it used to have more.

Good location. Always has great deals and the staff are always nice and as helpful as they can be.

The selection is so minimal. I'd rather shop at J or at HL.
