Re: Michaels--so disappointed

@wagirl.  Is it possible that most people have bought their decorative supplies and the store is not restocking because it's almost time to put out the Christmas stuff?  You got inspired too late.

Re: Michaels--so disappointed

The Michaels in our town has been struggling since COVID-19. I don't know why COVID-19 should affect the store so much, but it has been struggling since then. I thought they would rebound, but they never have.

Re: Michaels--so disappointed

It is disappointing to go to a store and not find what you were wanting. The two Michaels near me are both nice stores. One of them is even a new store. As others have said, Hobby Lobby is also a good choice. I find the nicer independent garden centers have a nice selection as well.

I don't seem to have luck in Michaels, the selection isn't what it once was. Home Goods and Hobby Lobby are where I go now.

The Michaels near me is a you know what show and I can't imagine where they are going to put the fabric department if and when it happens.

 

I only go there when I can't find what I'm looking for at the other hoobby store across the highway.

@Kachina624 ----No, don't think that was the issue. The entire store looked like it hadn't been stocked at all. So many empty shelves on all aisles.  Even the normal stuff was sparse.  Hardly any xmas stuff or halloween things out  either. A bunch of on sale spring/summer things  tho----went there during the summer and things looked good, even had halloween out. Not a fan of HOBBY LOBBY , but will go back to Homegoods--they have the best things  as well as our local Ben Franklin and then there's always AMZ too.
