Michaels — Local services in Fredericksburg

The mark of a good craft store is if it makes you excited for your next project. Michael's did that. I went in to get the price for something and ended up forgetting why I had come in in the first place. I must have gotten three project ideas from just walking around in there. I really liked the blendable marker aisle. One of the Brand's has a display where you can try the markers out on paper. If there had been room I would have written a small tutorial on how to blend colors. Honestly though I think the best part about this store is the fact that it is right next to a store where you can buy pieces of Art. Walking through both of those stores together makes for a wonderful time killer. Who needs the mall anyway.

It was a complete nightmare!I've been going to Michaels since I was a kid...(now: 35)I couldnt believe that this was the same store I loved so...

I was in Va. to complete arrangements for a family wedding........Michaels is my "go to" store in Florida. I was delighted to be assisted by a lovely associate named Janet........she was helpful, pleasant, and went out of her way to get answers to my questions. It was not until I got to the check out that my experience turned sour. The manager on duty, Rosemary, was abrupt, dismissive, and rude........customer service clearly not a priority. Since I do business with Michaels on a frequent basis I am familiar with their policy of customer satisfaction..........Rosemary clearly has not been informed or being informed does not care.
