| - This new Michael's located in the space at Stonecrest formerly occupied by Borders is awesome! The interior upfit of the building for it's new tenant is great. The store is brightly lit and clean and fully stocked.
Stopping by after work on a Monday night, armed with a 25% off my entire purchase coupon from the Michael's website, there were quite a few shoppers around. I browsed the bead section, which is located right at the front of the store, briefly, and liked what I saw. (they also had a 40% special on the brand of beads that I most often purchase). I strolled around the store not really looking for anything in particular, but looking around. This store showcases the frames/framing department with soft directional lighting in addition to the fluorescents overhead. While this is a big box store, the lighting seemed not as harsh as in typical stores, and as it is new, the space seemed clean and inviting - I could have spent a lot more time here wandering the aisles.
I found what I needed in the back corner (cross stitch) and made my way to the front checkout. This store has you line up and wait for the next available cashier, which I prefer to getting knocked down by people stampeding towards an open line. Clean and well laid out store, I can't wait until I have a new craft project to start so I can visit again.
