    The entrance and exit to this store is kinda strange. There is just a singular door for each- the…read moreentrance and the exit. Not a lot of glass, so it wasn't until I came through the first door that I could confirm that this indeed was the entrance. No room for carts between the 2 entrance doors either, so carts are just Willy Nilly out in the front sidewalk. The store was clean but didn't seem to have very much merchandise on the shelves. I came looking for hot pink yarn and I did find what I was looking for. I wonder if craft stores like Michael's are just not stocking the shelves like they did in pre-pandemic days? Anyway, I noticed a cool patriotic chalk drawing on the sidewalk in front of the store, where the shopping carts were.

    This location has an entire end cap with a canvas/slab of foam decorated in spray paint. Top to…read morebottom. I watched a group of other customers adding to it, I thought it was a cute interactive thing the store was allowing. Apparently not, I was barked at to not to do so lol, it wasn't a problem when the other customers did it so I felt very targeted and embarrassed. It was a complete misunderstanding on my end, maybe don't pick and choose who you tell? Maybe put up a sign? Maybe take down the completely decorated piece? It's going to keep happening and this misunderstanding made Michael's likeness for me go down

    Broke adjustable side table that broke in the middle of my company presentation!

    Michaels - The other side is also broken as the spring loaded function doesn't work or lock into place. So both sides are broken : (

    This place is exactly what's wrong with many collecting hobbies. Yea, the selection here is pretty…read moregood. That's mostly because the prices are terrible--worse than eBay and Facebook marketplace scalpers. Case in point: there's a pokemon illustrated set that just came out. It's $17. You can still get lucky at retailers and it'll be restocked. Here, just 2 days after launch, they're selling for $50. Just nuts. I guess it's clear this isn't a "card shop," it's a scalpers storefront. Don't go here looking for Lorcana--guessing the margins are too low. Except for their singles, which they sell for $2-4....crazy pricing for Lorcana. Anyways, i won't be back. Will have to continue my search for a card shop that's ethical and somewhat reasonable. --------- Edit in response to business reply: 1) i agree conversation could go a long way. But when your pricing on a brand new Pokémon set (which doesn't have a set market yet) is already 3x MSRP, what productive conversation can happen? It's just a straight up gouge. I'm not naive to expect to get everything at MSRP, but i think 3x markup 2 days post launch is unreasonable. 2) i did ask about Lorcana. I was told you "don't carry much" and "didn't have any right now." 3) you seem to be implying that you're aware prices are high and can then be negotiated lower. If that's how you want to do it that's your prerogative, just understand that's offputting for new customers. It's hard to want to establish a relationship and have a conversation when the first impression is being taken advantage of. And when your response to pricing questions is "well the hobby is thriving!" I don't think that's off base.

    Places like this are why people are now looking to buy digital media only, the need to price gauge…read moreand bad customer service. It turns what for many is a great hobby into a greedy money scheme. There was not one game at this place that was priced competitively, even the least desirable games are over $5 what you could get them for at other shops. Their workers are immature and when this is communicated have a bad attitude.

    the strangest thing happened over labor day weekend; I came here and walked inside, announced…read moremyself, walked around a little more and took some pictures, waited a little because I had my box stock Mazda with me and wanted to go roundy round for a while because I like that sort of thing unless there's wing cars on the track (IYKYK) but I never saw anybody... maybe they were in the process of getting robbed or burgled and I just missed it? regardless, it's an interesting if not unique set up. there's a big flat track occupying prime real estate as you walk in and a big old king sprawled across the back half of the store with a parts shop and pit areas where they fit. I saw a straight line down the far side (there's almost always a straight line for the 100% GO FAST!! crowd) funny thing about these places, they're way funner if you listen more than talk; more often than not the guy running it is a professional...

    We worked with Mike to coordinate a surprise birthday party for our 5 year old who's obsessed with…read morecars. Mike was super easy to work with and pricing was very reasonable to host a 2 hour party for kids. The main track can be dialed back so that the kids won't send the cars off the track. Mike (one man team) did a great job of rotating the kids in for races and even had a separate area for those not racing to send hot wheels care down an inclined race track to pass time while they awaited their turn. Overall the event was a success. We were able to bring in pizza from next door for food. I have pretty fond memories of my dad taking my brother and I slot car racing when we were kids so it was a really cool to be able to share the same experience with my son and his friends. 'Til next time, cheers!
