Michaels

Solid arts and crafts store. Has its own framing department. Was having a 70% off xmas decorations so it was a little madhouse-​y for a Monday night and that section was pretty empty but understandably so. I was all about the journaling section and they were well stocked with a decent variety of goodies. Line moved at a steady pace if not exactly quickly but it gave me a chance to decide what holiday chocolate I wanted to nosh on the car ride back up to Jersey City.
An easy 15 min commute from JC located in a shopping mall with a good variety of places to eat after you’ve Walmart’d, Lowes’d, and Michael’d.
Open til late.

I came in and this place was packed since they were having a lot of holiday décor sales after I passed the holiday section since this wasn’t the reason I was here I was surprised by how well stocked this store is. I need a shadow box and ended with more than I needed since they were buy one get one free and on top of that I was able to use one of their coupons on their site.
I was afraid I wasnt going to be on line forever since the store was so busy but I have to say the lines ran fast and I wasn’t on line to pay more than 5 minutes.

I recently decided to visit this store instead of going into Manhattan to get some framing done. I was so glad I did. The woman who was the framing manager spent a lot of time with me and helped me get the best prices and the look I was going for. I was lucky in that there were no other customers and she was able to work with me right away. Sometimes the Chelsea store is just a zoo.

Well stocked store with friendly staff, didn’t come across too many staff members through out the store all the time I’ve spent there but they were definitely someone to assist you if you needed it. I must say this place has the cleanest public restroom I have ever been too. The only thing I must say is I was kind of bummed when after i completed my purchase I saw a little sign next to the register saying if I had given my email I could of received 20% off my entire purchase, which would of been great. Maybe if the cashier would have mentioned it prior to me paying I could of saved about $ 20.00.

This store is getting better as time goes on. It used to be hard to find anything & staff was non-​existent, but on my most recent trip here this past week I was able to find everything I need. I had been on the hunt for a wood wine crate for the Little Prince’s school project (building Permanent City & he is assigned to build a bookstore!) & had been to numerous wine stores & restaurants, but was told each time that they don’t have them. I finally gave in & gave up & decided to just buy one, but the online prices (Amazon, etc.) were way too high.
Luckily the day before I went to Michaels, I received a postcard in the mail telling me about a new line that they have called «Make Market» which includes lots of raw naturally made items such as wood, raffia, chalkboard, denim, cork etc. for all of your DIY projects. The postcard also included a 50% off one item coupon, so even better. I headed over to Michaels & low & behold they had plenty of options to choose from. I ended up selecting a plain pine wine-​like crate with handles on the sides, for $ 13.99 — with my 50% off coupon, I paid a whopping $ 7. Had I known that 3 weeks earlier, I could have saved myself a ton of time & effort. Nevertheless, all that matters is that I got what he needed & he was thrilled to take it to school the next day.
Staff are better than in the past, so ask if you can’t find something. Frankly, they sell just about anything you could possibly need, from artificial flowers, baskets, holiday decorations, paint, fabric, yarn, raw wood items, as well as a huge framing section. Sign up for their rewards program to get coupons via email, mail or their Mobile app — they always offer money off!

i love michaels ! just most people who work there are rude, and also bathroom with permission ! but overall its a great store

Glad Michaels is here in Bayonne. Its the only all in one craft store here. Great selection. Lots of variety. Helpful staff and very friendly. Thank you for opening your craft store here. :)

After dealing with the stupidly tiny M’s in Manhattan for my usual crafty shopping needs, a Zipcar outing that included a stop at this location was marvelous. It’s a normal sort of M’s location: big, laid out in chunks by product type. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I am tacking on a star for the fact that when the checkout line got to be about 4 people long (with 1 cashier open), a member of management stepped right up to open another line. That doesn’t always happen and it made the experience all the nicer.

Go someplace where the employees want to be helpful.

This is your standard Michaels store. It really is a toss-​up between Michaels and A.C. Moore, in my book. They both seem the same. I’ve come here for my crazy project needs. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it’s hard to find employees that are walking the aisles because I usually have questions and can’t find things. When I can find someone to help me, sometimes I get helpful responses, sometimes I get the, «It’s over there in that area somewhere» responses.

I’m so happy that Michaels openned in Bayonne. This is a newer store and is well stocked with all the arts and craft supplies your imagination desires. I can honestly stay a good 2 hours here without being bored. Since it located in a mini mall, parking is ample and the boys can go get their haircuts and Lowes next door to do more «manly» things while I loose myself in endless combinations of rubber stamps, sparkle and textured paper.
