“Recently visited this store and was amazed by the extensive collection of POP Funko and WWE merchandise. The store boasts an impressive inventory of video games, action figures, and collectibles. Additionally, there is a tech lab in the back that specializes in repairing most electronics. For top-notch phone or console repairs, be sure to ask for Shea M.”

“This shop is the best! I've been buying cards and other sports stuff from ideal, since the 90s! He owned a shop in Watertown back then!!! He's nothing but nice, honest, and reliable! He couldn't be nicer to my son and I when we go in there! I wish I could give him 20 stars!”

“Recently bought a PS5 (believe me, I know I'm late) and it was the exact right price, but even still, the owner walked me through the specs of the model I considered--it's the digital only.

He gave me straight facts about the machine's capabilities, how it would retro-fit my PS4 cloud data, and how i may upgrade it in the future.

GamesIRL (they had me at IRL) was already a destination for me for the Saturday modern mtg crowd, but this sets the gaming shop in its own spotlight.

Thanks GamesIRL”

“Stopped by recently and the person running the store was very helpful and brought out a bunch of singles that I could look through. I also accidentally left my toploaders there on and I was able to grab them when I showed up the next morning. Very much appreciate the staff!”

“I love shopping at Michael's. Have I said this before? Yes I have, yes. ? I went yesterday on an outing for the very first time in like five years. I’m disabled and I cannot stand for too long so Covid did me a favor and I do everything online. But I cannot believe all of the changes that have taken place! . One register only cash. Three huge screen self registers. I asked for help because I had some items that were on clearance but we know how people put things back all over the place so I had to make sure. The young lady who assisted me was Madyson. Yes, Madyson. She was so spectacular and so helpful to this old bag of bones. She helped me ring, she asked if I wanted to apply for their credit card which I did and I got approved so woo hoo. ? She helped walk me to the car and put my things in the trunk. She was simply the best. Michael’s give that young lady a raise for demonstrating exceptional customer service!! Madyson 10 **********!! ?”

“Michaels a is great place if you're into any sorts of baking, arts, and crafts. I used to go all the time back in high school and college to buy supplies for my art classes; painting, sketching, ceramics, photography, etc. I even used to buy their shirts which were pretty cheap to tie-dye.

Now all the rage is around cricut; they have an aisle with all the supplies you need. I even bought fake flowers and various of other items for my wedding (super budget/DIY wedding and I'm proud of it). I also buy yarn for knitting and supplies for embroidering. They have kids craft too which my toddler loves. They offer custom framing and helium balloons; their website allows for customization options.

When I went, I saw a room for where they offer classes; summer camp are offered and birthday parties can be hosted at the stores. There are 1,252 Michaels in the US and Canada. I think it's a great store for the artsy and crafty people; even if you're not artsy/crafty it's fun to look at. Don't forget to check their website for coupons!”

“Always a nice store. Clean and well stocked with courteous staff. I would give 5 stars except for the area it's in. There are always panhandlers outside (some will even follow you to your car). They have a security guard as the bathrooms are locked. You need to obtain a code from the staff to use the restroom. It's really sad that Waterbury has gotten this bad. I hope the store doesn't end up closing.”
