If you're creative, this is a place you will want to visit. Excellent spot to find gifts for creative people of all ages! Bonus: the staff are all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was having trouble finding something and the staff member walked me right to the spot and made sure I found what I needed. The parking lot is large and easy, and the front entrance is accessible with no stairs. Restrooms are gender-neutral. The building itself is set away from the main street and hard to see if you don't know it's there. There is a tiny "Hyatt" sign at the driveway, which is shared with the oil change place. Go past the oil change place and you'll see the large blue building. This store is well worth seeking out.

That 80's Toy Shop has a really great mix of old and new collectibles , This grandma loved the back of the store that had some old fisher price , a great vintage Spirograph , a Donny and Marie doll case that opened up to a stage .and much more . My grandson loved the Ninja Turtle collectibles , some of the horror action figures and the big bins of loose wrestling figures , again just to name a few . Star Wars merch was abundant as well as the classic superhero selection. An enjoyable stop that included many childhood memories and favorites .

Daryl, another fella sorry forgot his name and Harold the father / owner of the company. All three were fantastic, very honest and helpful. We did our transaction, and I received a fairly Large Check. I left the store and did deposit my check into the bank. then a day or two after that I went in for a major 4.5 Hour surgery on my back. spent a week in the hospital and when I got home from hospital, check was still not in the bank. The bank screwed up, and the check never got deposited and the bank knew their system screwed up. Unfortunately for me the Bank requested that I ask H.B Rice for another check. This is where everything fell apart. Once I started to deal with Harolds daughter (Who i feel sorry for Dad because he is turning the Business over to her and she is just terrible with people. I hope Harolds hard work after all these years doesn't go down the drain when she takes it over. She already feels empowered and above others. SO, i am now in a recliner and I have a back brace on and could barely walk across the floor without special equipment, and it still was almost impossible. I explained to her my situation and believe me it went in one ear and out the other. No Mercy, kindness or empathy from ROBIN. I'm telling you this is NOT a kind or caring person! I called and needed to speak with ROBIN because she was the person who wrote the checks. As always and I mean every single time she will answer the phone and tell you she has like 12 eyes staring at her and she is VERY BUSY! Throughout this ordeal I called to speak with her like 3 maybe 4 times and I kid you not She is always in a hurry. She has a wonderful way of making you feel like your really getting in the way of her success and she has 2.3 Seconds for you to explain your problem. I explained it to her and she immeaditly went right to "Oh No , I can not do that. I would need the check that she gave me in order to write another check. I asked her why she can't do a stop payment on that check that I no longer have because it was deposited in the bank and the next day it was taken out due to a problem with the bank. She was very insistent that I go to the bank and make them find the check so that I can return it. I told her the bank can print a copy of the check, but they would not be able to produce the original check. ROBIN it must be the original. Each time I called she went into her extremely busy and likes to display herself as important. I would suggest they move her much further back into a different room because the poor thing always has 6 to 18 eyeballs on her as she is speaking on the phone. Anyways Harold stepped in and went to the bank where they told him he can stop payment on the check and write another check. No Problem. They knew I didn't cash it (Or no one has) because the large sum of money was still in HB Rice account. They mailed me the check because i was in pain and trying to heal from surgery. Thank you Harold. I must say that my favorite part dealing with ROBIN was when she told me that she has gone way above and beyond for me. And she said you're going to have to take it up with the bank. I'm thinking are you kidding me. You see the money is in your account and I have NOT been paid yet (Banks Fault) but I said so what do you want me to do. Bank cannot do anything without another check. She refused and hung up on me. I called back and she would not answer my call. Like wow, I had one chance to deposit this check without failure and now she basically says oh well we are keeping the money. Of course, I am going to say we might have to go to court. like she had no idea what was going on. And she sounded like she held all the power, and she believed I would just whimper down and forget the well over $10,000. That is what I was dealing with. it's incredible. I could not believe what she was saying. I kid you not. She left me no choice what else can I do; other than we will have to go to court and then she lost it completely. She leaves me no other option Like Ok I guess I will forget about it. She is just completely unreasonable. I had a business for 37 years and employed 11 employees. The future does not look good for H B Rice. Maybe if they can convince her to stay away from people, I mean don't answer a phone, probably not even an email. Anyways I got the check, and it deposited I called to let her know it was all good and I was set. This was a day later, and she still wasn't taking my call. thank God Harold (A man with a brain) stepped in. Otherwise, there is NO DOUBT in my mind we would be going to court and Harold, and the other employees don't deserve that. Please call HB Rice and ask for ROBIN. she will tell you she is very busy and then she will provide the #of eyes that are placed upon her. Poor thing. Sorry Harold You built a beautiful biz. Convince her to go elsewhere! Dan .

Even more so, they offer a section for bday parties, which I think is nice for crafters, but it really lacked the luster I would want if I was hosting a bday here, adult or especially child. I did like the selection of Halloween stuff. There's traditional black and orange, there's more girly and modern stuff, and there was a section for black and deep purples they were starting to put up. Another nice thing is they had plenty of registers, including self-checkout AND people working their own registers.

Sooo, I turned to "Siri" and asked where Michael's was & it was down,a little over a mile further . It was right past the Amherst Buffet parking lot (yes,that's what I refer to it as,lol), and in the plaza where Trader Joe's is. It's way in the back of Trader Joe's lot. Easy enough to see when you're driving down Niagara Falls Boulevard. The new location is more spacious, cleaner & it seemed like it had more products. I , of course wanted to but everything I saw, but we went there for 1 thing, which they didn't end up having. I ended up getting something anyways (hehehehe), & they were cheap, which is why Jim bought them for me. =D. (I always make him spend too much $$) So, it's a very nice store, large selection, neat & clean, Nice employees, but of course,crazy expensive! I do mean crazy EXPENSIVE for most things. Otherwise, if you need stuff for almost any kind of "crafty" project, they probably have it.

I would like to say this as delectably as possible but the shop smells awful, the whole shop smells like urine and dog which I feel is very off putting for a shop that sell plush items that can lock in smells. Another thing I find off putting is the prices, the shop is priced very high and the owner will say that this is because they are a small business but most of their items are work stolen from other artist and clearly drop shipped. Another issue with this shop is the owners are very rude and I have witness them treat customers very harshly due to honest feedback. I do not recommend this shop in the slightest.
