Michaels introduces new format designed to inspire creativity. Remodeled store in Irving, Texas, features 'all of our visualizations come to life.' July 30, 2026. 2:59 PM IRVING, Texas - Michaels introduced its reimagined store format on July 24 during a grand re-opening ceremony at a freshly renovated outlet. The remodeled location features fresh displays, expanded assortments, and community spaces meant to inspire and facilitate creativity. "What you're going to see today is our best creation yet, the newest store inside of our entire fleet," CEO David Boone told onlookers awaiting the 9 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony, some of whom had been there since 6:15 in the morning. "And inside of it is all the newest things that our merchants have imagined, all of our visualization that has come to life, and all of what our creative people have put together in new formats." The updated store introduces customization bars and classrooms for hosting candle-making and other creative endeavors. The site includes flexible spaces that can accommodate workshops, birthday parties and other events. Also new are updated and expanded Michaels' assortments, including Knit & Sew and Party Shop. New private brands and a larger selection of craft supplies were also introduced at the new locale. The grand opening involved a variety of family-friendly activities, including a local-maker craft fair, live music, games, balloon artists, face painting, a photo booth, and demonstrations in embroidery, sewing and painting, according to a dispatch in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The newspaper noted that after 53 years in business, Michaels has more than 1,300 stores across 49 states and Canada, selling arts-and-crafts-related items, including cake-decorating materials, beads, art supplies, fabrics, frames, scrapbooking supplies, florals and home decor.
Michaels hit with class action lawsuit over allegedly misleading sale emails. Crow v. The Michaels companies, inc. d/b/a Michaels. A class action lawsuit accuses Michaels of sending misleading and illegal marketing emails to Washington residents. Defendant(s) Washington Michaels faces a proposed class action lawsuit that alleges the arts and crafts retailer sends consumers misleading marketing emails that promote "limited-time" sales. The 35-page false advertising lawsuit claims that Michaels "constantly" sends consumers on its mailing list promotional emails that advertise "fake" discounts and misrepresent the duration of sales. According to the case, the company has violated the Washington Commercial Electronic Mail Act, which prohibits sending commercial emails with misleading subject lines. The filing relays that Michaels regularly sends promotional emails multiple times a week with subject lines such as "LAST DAY for up to 50% off! This sale ENDS TODAY" to lead consumers to believe that there is a "substantial" sale in effect that offers a good deal compared to a product's regular or former price. However, the lawsuit says that for many products, the ostensible discounts were fake, as the products were frequently available at a discount on Michaels' website. Per the case, since the products were regularly on sale, consumers were misled into believing that they were receiving a special deal. Further, the suit accuses Michaels of regularly extending sales after their supposed expiration date or offering comparable sales almost immediately - oftentimes within one week of the previous sale's end. According to the suit, this practice leads consumers to falsely believe that they must buy the discounted products before the sale ends in order to take advantage of lower prices. The case provides one example of the allegedly misleading sales emails, stating that Michaels sent an email on September 27, 2025 that read, "ENDS TODAY: Up to 60% off trees online only! Plus, FREE shipping!" Notably, the complaint says that the 60-percent-off sale was reinstated just four days later on October 1, 2025, announced in an email subject line that read, "EXTENDED: Up to 60% off Christmas trees online only! Plus, FREE shipping!" The case accuses Michaels of employing a strategy whereby the company "pressures" consumers to make purchases with misleading representations about the extent and availability of its discounts or sales. Consumers are more likely to purchase an item immediately, rather than comparison shop, when they believe they only have a short time to act, the filing conveys. Indeed, the case notes that the Federal Trade Commission has identified the "False Limited Time Message" as one way retailers create an artificial sense of scarcity to consumers' detriment. "This creates a sense of value and urgency: buy now, and you will receive something worth more than you pay for; or wait, and you will pay more for the same thing later," the complaint states. Per the filing, an investigation by the plaintiff's counsel revealed that Michaels sent promotional emails advertising limited-time sales nearly every day between December 8, 2025 and June 8, 2026. The Michaels class action lawsuit looks to cover all Washington residents who, during a timeframe to be established by the court and while present in Washington, received promotional emails from Michaels with subject lines either: * -Advertising "% off" discounts; * -Stating a sale, discount or price would end at a specified date but the same sale, discount or price was extended upon expiration; or * -Stating a sale, discount or price was time limited, ending or tethered to a holiday or event, when Michaels reinstated the same or a comparable sale, discount or price for a longer time.

Brian Warmoth | Jul 22, 2026 2.5 minutes Ask Mike, built using Google Cloud, has enabled 75,000 conversations for Michaels customers so far, the retailer announced. The Michaels Companies Inc. worked with Google Cloud to debut its artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, Ask Mike, in May. Now, the Toys & Hobbies retailer has early data on how its online shoppers have been using the digital tool. Built using Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience, Ask Mike appears on Michaels.com, where the assistant offers feedback to prompts in a familiar chat-style interface, with discovery as Michaels' most cited use case. The Michaels Companies is No. 93 in the Top 1000 Database. That database includes Digital Commerce 360's ranking of North America's largest online retailers. Michaels is also No. 575 in Digital Commerce 360's all-new AI Rankings. That set of rankings is available in the Top 1000 Pro with AI Database. How Michaels shoppers use its AI assistant. "In just a few weeks, Ask Mike has fueled nearly 75,000 conversations, with our community using the tool for everything from party planning to finding the right materials for their first punch-needle pillow," said Heather Bennett, president and chief customer officer at Michaels. "As the destination for creating and celebrating, we're committed to meeting our customers exactly where they are." Since the AI assistant's release, 60% of its interactions have been related to online product discovery, Michaels shared. The retailer cited examples of prompts such as "help me plan my child's birthday party" and "I need a fabric for DIY curtains" as types of input it received. "Ask Mike is more than just a search tool; it's a personalized creative partner for our customers so they can find what they need to bring their unique visions to life," Bennett stated. Where Ask Mike fits into Michaels' ecommerce plans. "Michaels has been building on Google Cloud for years, and Ask Mike is a direct result of that strong foundation - a testament to what's possible when deep infrastructure investment meets the power of Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience," said Paul Tepfenhart, global director for retail industry strategy and solutions at Google Cloud. In the future, Michaels plans to enhance Ask Mike with features including product overviews, as well as integrated prompts on product pages. "Seeing a retailer move from concept to a production-grade AI in just six weeks is a signal of where the industry is heading," Tepfenhart added. "Michaels is showing what it looks like to put AI at the center of the shopping experience, not just as a service tool, but as a true driver of discovery and conversion."
