Clean with a lots of craft items and material to choose from. No one asked if they could help. Material is definitely higher than I was expecting, but, I am far from being an expert on that(maybe the quality is supposed to be better?). I would say for a variety of crafts,they may have something you could use,but, some didnt have a lot to choose from for some crafts.
This particular locations workers gave enough of a calming, helpful experience,I was motivated to come on here and give this review. All of them, especially the girl at the front counter with the dark hair, wish Id caught her name...all of them were helpful, and provided a calm atmosphere that definitely helped counter my regular panic attacks in public.
The store closes at 8pm instead of 9pm. We were surprised the hours listed on Google Maps are incorrect. The mall closes at 8 so they do too. The staff was defensive about it being incorrect and they didn’t seem like they had the capability to update it. Other customers were also disappointed showing up after we did. It’s inconvenient to make a trip all the way there and we don’t have time to shop. Thanks for fixing this problem.
Staff is rude and incredibly disrespectful. The 200% mark up on Amazon products is annoying too. I recommend shipping else were unless you need that one item right now and can afford to pay 3 times what it worth.
I went in to the store for 2 items. One of which was a little bit of sticker shock. Anyways, I got to the checkout counter and the worker asked if I had any coupons. No. She then asked if I had a smart phone, if so, I could pull up the Joann’s website and use the 40% off an item coupon. Yes!!!! That is customer service!!!! Saved $32 on my sticker shock item. It made my day, she didn’t need to do that but it was so NICE of her to do!! Thank you for saving me money!
Found some cool home decor on clearance thats always a plus
Awesome selection, great coupons/rewards and moderately-knowledgeable staff.
Very friendly service, although prices can be a bit over to what you think it might be.
Need something fun to do? Tons of ideas! Staff is so helpful. Dont forget your coupons!!
Always find what I need. Lots of help when needed.
Good prices. Nice owner
Love this place but cant find things that I went in for. Fabric is a little pricey but they do have a good variety. If beading, huge selection.
Very limited beading supplies and they no longer carry Swarovski crystals.
Would like to see more embroidery patterns,and threadm
Decent selection of yarn and fabric and helpful staff
The employees are friendly and knowledgeable.
Very clean store and the staff is just wonderful
Positive, friendly experience. Great sales/discounts!
Amazing place to find craft supplies for cheap remember to bring a coupon!
Michelle at the Westgate Mall Store in Brainerd is awesome. She helped me find the correct items I needed and showed me how to get online coupons. This store has great selection of fabrics and craft items. Thanks Michelle.
Wonderful selection of holiday items. Good prices on fabric. I wish they had a larger upholstery fabric section, but that isnt realistic in such a small town.
The clerks were very helpful in estimating the amount of fabric I would need for a project. Lots of fabric choices & crafting supplies. 💜
Friendly and good prices
Have everything but staffing is low so help finding stuff is slow
Very good for the things they have that you might need
Favorite store love the friendly workers
Great employees...they are always so helpful!
Joann has great customer service a variety of fabrics.
A good store. I dont sew but buy holiday items. Things are nice here and helpful.
Nice huge store
Easy to get to friendly service wild service willing to help is always a nice experience
I love going here so much!! They almost always have what Im looking for, and they have reasonable prices on a lot of their products
This place has what your crafting heart desires
Good selection of fabrics and the store was brightly lit up.
Was waited on right away and got what I needed. Thank you so much!
Great for arts and crafts
Fabulous service, curbside pickup is very smooth. Great prices with Coupons that make every one of my projects possible.Thank you for being so kind and helpful.
Great store. Helpful staff. They keep ahead with the seasons.
Speedy service, nice staff.
Lots to choose from and the employees are helpful and nice
Very helpful staff. Good prices.
Nice people 😊😊❤️ and very fast service
Penny was a great help to us!! Thank you so much for your help
Excellent service. Need more painting supplies.
Clean, organized and friendly cashier.
Great experience in the store. An associate helped me find my items and stayed with me until she was certain I had what I needed.
Found what I needed quickly. Great staff and friendly staff.
Clean well managed very fast and friendly
The people at the Brainerd Joann Fabrics are super helpful!
My wife spends to much time here.
Had Xmas products marked with 2 different sale signs??? Would not honor the better of the sales! Really poor business practice! Manager said they are following company policy. Store won’t be around long with this type of service.
Found everything. Very nice service people.
Prices are good, a lot of selection.
It was awesome because they had what I needed for a project
Wide selection of crafting and sewing supplies
Never been inside, just drop off my wife. She likes going so I figure it should be at least 3 star. Figure if I rate and review it will stop asking me to.
I freaking love Joann fabrics and crafts . They always have my beads and craft my craft supplies. The coupons are amazing and if you have an account you can save more.
The Brainerd/Baxter Joanns has the friendliest staff of all the Joanns Ive shopped. I had even quit shopping at Joanns for a bit due to poor service in Fargo. But now I stop in as often as I can due to these folks!! Keep up the good work!
Felt like a safe place to shop in covid times
Every thing I went for I couldnt find.
Please dont pack the fabric bolts so tightly!
As always amazing. They have unique gifts,, and helpful staff! I never have had a bad experience.
Its a smaller store. They have a hard time staying stocked.
Staff was so helpful. I wish the store had a full sewing center. That would be great for Brainerd.
Good prices and very nice store
Very helpful employees!
Best place in town for crafty people :)
Its chaotic right now with all sorts of projects needing fabric
The workers i communicated with had no idea what they were doing. Or what some of the items i was looking for even were. I believe if you work in a craft store, you should probably know what your working with.
Love the ladies that work there always so helpful (Jess)
Kinda of spendy and selection is meh.
Great sales.
Unfriendly staff. That is par for the course here, but today I didnt actually have a chance to interact with them. I arrived at 5:58. (1 hour and 2 minutes before the closing time) I was dismayed to see that the sign in the entrance stated that they closed at 5pm. However, the store seemed to be open. So. I went in, and was informed that the store would be closing in 2 minutes. Inconsistency. I guess they didnt want my business! It would nice if they would figure out what time they actually close on Sundays. Is it 5? 6? 7? I suppose I was reminded why I never want to go here.
Not very well stocked. No help.more sewing stuff not enough crafts
My favorite crafty stores. Me and my kids can always find things here and I always end up leaving with things I didnt expect to buy and dont regret buying. Bug selection of fabrics, yarns, and supplies of all sorts.
The staff was helpful. Prices are about average or a bit above. Shop specials and use coupons. The store is quite cramped.
Much kinder and friendlier than the Shakopee store. No issues. Everyone was up to the job and even the girl that cut my fabric said she is just learning to sew but very good with the cutting. I was impressed with the overall experence.
Ribs- yum!! Drink special was lack luster. Good food, fast service.
Very nice and friendly help.
Patty was super helpful! The store is easy to navigate and very clean!
The unfriendly staff was a real surprise... 😒The mall was deserted, as it seems to be dying off, but Joannes is the only craft store for many miles, so that is where one can shop for crafting supplies. As one of only 2 customers we had to step aside from the store manager going past, as the only way not to be nudged out of the way. No acknowledgement, no pardon-me, no thank-you... Nothing. She was not carrying anything, not helping someone else, just talking intermittently to an employee. I was in the store for 20 minutes before giving up on the store due to the poor service, and only on the way out did one of the 3 employees (not the manager) even offer a greeting . I was really surprised. Stunned. In a failing mall, one would think that customer care would be a higher priority to retain what customers they can. I can buy more cheaply online, but tried to support the local economy by shopping in person, only to be ignored by the staff of 3 for 20 minutes. A hello would have been all that was required, but it took 20 minutes to get even that. Some customer service training is in order, at the very least, possibly a change in management.The store was neat, clean, and while it is the smallest JoAnn Fabrics I have ever seen, it had what I needed. Sadly, after my experience there today, I decided my money was not earned by them. JoAnn Fabric Management: this is a failure.
A little pricey but has great products
Great place to buy fabric. Use coupons to get good sales.
Great selection. I found a fabric on their website that they didnt have and they had it shipped in from another store. Lots of sales and coupons on their app.
I was able to find what I was looking for in a short time. It was on sale and I also used a 40 percent offer on something else.
Very helpful.
Love the place. You can basically get whatever color you can ever want of yarn and the material is just as good.
I was there with my girl and it look like they had a great selection of totally different things.
Love all the stuff you can get there.
The staff was very nice! And there was enough staff. They helped me get the best deal, which being a single mom of two artsy kiddos is important!
I am an avid crafter and love all the coupons I get each week but I wish their prices were a bit more competitive.
Always have what I need and friendly staff
Nice variety of items. Usually has what I need for crafts.
Stopped in to buy some foam rubber for a project, yes they had what I needed but after I found out what they were asking for the materials I said that they could keep the materials because of the price they were asking. After this evening I believe that Joann Fabrics is a expensive store . ( We are new in this area and you left a bad impression on us)
Lot of junk but good junk!
I took my 90+ aunt they helped her get what she wanted great help.
Always helpful staff. Good selection of product as well
I appreciate receiving COUPONS in the MAIL... it persuades me to visit the store (nearly EVERY TIME)!As for MY LOCAL (Brainerd, MN) store?It is MY PLEASURE to VALIDATE that I’ve ALWAYS found THIS LOCATION to be EXCEPTIONALLY ORGANIZED w/exception to the BOOK RACK); which I RIGHTFULLY EXCUSE.*** However, IF you have worked in the (Retail World)_ you would know that keeping a “Book Rack” properly organized is a (full time) position by itself!I’ve visited several OTHER “JF SYORES”each having (GOOD-EXCELLENT) Customer Service.... HOWEVER, the (BRAINERD,MN) Store has had POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE for the past 6-8The EMPLOYEES AVOID YOU like the “PLAGUE”..... However, walk in w/a LARGER SIZED PURSE or a SHOPPING BAG from “another Retailer” in the Mallwill RARELY “take you” to the ITEM your SEEKING, 50% of the time the Employee is WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE of the PRODUCTS sold in THEIR ASSIGNED DEPT (w/EXCEPTION to the “FABRICS COUNTER,”
Always a great store for pretty much all your crafting needs
