NATIONWIDE: Michaels Stores makes magic happen. Not only because they are dog friendly, but because they have an amazing selection of crafts, framing, toys, gifts, home décor, and so much more to make your inspirations become reality. Leashed dogs are allowed in their stores and Brie met Brie. Yes, you read that right. An associate named Brie helped us with custom framing for a special edition t-shirt. She went through all the options and perfectly put together a special memento for us. We love that unique potpourri scent when walking into the store and Brie met their entire staff who showered her with love. Pick up a new hobby this year and see what Michael's has to offer. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

Cashiers here need to learn how to navigate the system prior to starting their day to day. It would also be helpful for them to keep their cool when they are under pressure. This may require more training Linda. Last, cashiers here need to have more patience and focus more their customer service skills. Let's make Michael's great again by hiring cashiers that want to actually be there while enjoying their job creating the best customer experience! Welp Yelp...... This sums up my personal experience. Needless to say HOBBY LOBBY here I come! read more

The women's restroom was absolutely disgusting. First off, there was poop covered toilet covers inside of the slot . Second the toilets clearly haven't been cleaned properly in a while. Something needs to change here because that was an atrocious experience. read more

I've been coming here for abut a year. No great shakes, the shelves are empty at times, there doesn't seem to be anyone that works there on the sales floor for assisting, customers, but I have had pretty nice check out experiences. I usually purchase just yarn for the blankets I crochet, but I have found on more than one occasion that I better buy ALL the yarn I need at that moment, because for some reason they run out, discontinue it or someone also thinks its a great colour and buys it out. Which sucks! They do carry a nice variety of cake decorating items and since I do bake and create pretty cakes, I buy here. Because I have not found a specific cake decorating store like the "Kilted Cake" store in Temecula- THE only store I used to buy my cake supplies at. Anyway- they have a ton of floral stuff- some I think is overpriced but at the same token there are some that are within budget, so I guess it just boils down to what you are willing to pay for what you want. Plenty of parking and easy in-easy out. read more

Michaels is Michaels. Like other craft stores like it. When buying yarn, over buy because it won't be there when you back I can get lost and spend way too much money in this -and other Michaels stores. They did have a very specific item I was looking for and that made me very . Plenty of parking. The cashier was super patient babe helpful as I spazzed through my phone looking fir the coupon. read more

I've shopped at this store since it first opened. It is a smaller Michael's, but it usually has everything I need. It's selling point is it's custom framing department. One of the staff members, Donna, has been there forever and really knows her job. She has an amazing eye for matching mats and frames with artwork. Three years ago, my father-in-law passed away. I brought in an old photograph of him that was taken on Okinawa during WWII. She did a wonderful job. She chose Marine colors for the matting and the name plate. It was beautiful and an incredible tribute to the man. I met Ryan for the first time today. He's been there two years. I had purchased some inexpensive frames. When I got home, I realized that I hadn't a clue how to get the backs off. I brought them back to the store Ryan took the backs off and helped me mat them. He saved me an incredible amount of time and he was so patient. The store's staff is always friendly. I'm never afraid to ask a question and they are always willing to help. read more

I love this store much everytime I have been in this store everyone was so nice and accommodating.. I have a yarn obsession and they've had a couple of back to back unbelievable yarn sales I went nuts buying yarn!!! Today I went in to get some more because they take Hobby Lobby's coupon so I got 40% off the yarn I needed...since Hobby Lobby doesn't even price match. The manager Christina is always nice and pleasant which is why I will keep coming back, because the Manalapan employees need prozac. I have also been a customer for the past 3 years so I have made more than 2 trips. read more

i have been to this location twice within the last few weeks. the first visit was before my sisters funeral, i needed flowers and supplies to make a floral headband for her. the sales associate i dealt with on the floor was very helpful, she is the reason i give 1 star. when i got to the register, two cashiers were ringing. there was a couple of old biddies in the front of the line and a couple behind them. the farther cashier was saying (several times) i'll take the next customer. as i was walking down closer to them i said very loud and clear (thank you public speaking course) that he would take the next customer. one of the ladies looked me in the face and turned back to her convo. i repeated myself a bit more loudly, no one in line moved. after scanning the line for signs of any takers, i went up to the register with my items. the cashier MATT then told me that i was extremely rude and i wasn't next in line. he had the worst attitude. i asked him did he just see what happened, no one else was moving. after a minute of going back and forth with the rude young man one of the old ladies rolls over her cart and tells him "oh you can go ahead and take her" i said "no go ahead you were in line first, i'm only here because after i told you he was ready you went back to your convo" she then told me "oh well i was talking" *eye roll* as if her conversation means everyone in line should wait. i was almost furious, but you know i try to do all that namaste peaceful stuff. but really the audacity of MATT to tell me how rude i was!? after i waited for someone to move? umm yeah i was very unhappy with that. skip to about 2 weeks later, i needed to return one of the 9 items i purchased. when i walk in i see a clearance bin with a few goodies. signage says clearance items .50 cents. i grab several items for my niece before i grab one more item from the sales floor. when i go to purchase, of course MATT is the only cashier. does this dude ever smile? bruh you work in a craft store, if you hate your job apply elsewhere. anyway, some of the clearance items rang at .80 and .75 so MATT proceeds to tell me that some of the items ring as low as .15 and up. i explained to him that the signage does not say "CLEARANCE starting at .15" or "CLEARANCE as low as .50" it says "CLEARANCE ITEMS .50" on the bin. instead of checking the sign and adjusting the price, he tells me "it's only .80" which i explained it may be only .80 but the sign says .50 and that's what i expect to pay. again with the rudeness. general unhappy energy and horrible customer service when he acted as if it was brain surgery for him to change the price when i watched that it took about 6 seconds. also my niece threw some hello kitty thing in the cart i explained to him i would not like to purchase the item, and asked him to remove it after he continued to scan it and bag it (after i asked him not to) he acted as if i had ruined his whole day. gosh, i have never experienced such horrible service in a micheal's store anywhere, i will definitely NOT return to this one ever and will think twice before shopping at michael's in general seeing as their HR/ hiring manager found MATT fit to provide customer service at the last touch point of the retail experience. read more

Shopped there today for jewelry crafts. Shelves a lot empty and no employee on the floor to help. One gal at the checkout with a long line. One employee? ? I now will shop strictly on-line from other merchants who offer cheaper prices, broader selection and shipping costs lower than my travel expense. read more
