Aaron Brothers is in business with Michael's; you might find some of the same things, but they cater to entirely different demographics.
Aaron Brothers is for the artist, but it's also for the general public. They've got an abundant frame selection in a large assortment of colors and sizes right off the shelf. The choices for custom framing are virtually unlimited with the number of mat boards they have. However, you will pay the price; custom framing isn't cheap.
I can't tell you much about the art supplies I don't shop that side of the store, but they seem to have good starter kits. They have some, minimal, scrapbooking materials. Nice photo albums. What I enjoy most is that they carry unique items that you don't see at a typical department store.
There is lots of parking. And as for the friendliness of the staff: it depends on the day and the person.

Dale Hardware offers a wide range of tools and supplies for most of your hardware needs. While it doesn’t carry the gigantic supply of stuff that big box retailers like Home Depot or Lowe’s have, the staff is friendly and helpful, and you can actually find things with relative ease.

Sure, it's a mid-sized to large hardware store, but the customer service at this location is truly good.
The associates are friendly and efficient. Each time I've been there I've been successful in finding someone to assist me.
They have just about everything you need. Make step 1: OSH. You'll spend a lot less time in the long run. And...they're prices are competitive.
Plus there's ample parking.

I needed to get a portrait framed as a present to one of my relatives, so I decided to go to the closest framing store, which was the Ohlone Arts. The staff was just helpful enough and I ended up just choosing a basic classic sytle in darkened wood. I was hoping for something with more pizazz at first, but the sales woman informed me that a simple style would look best with the colors in the portrait. The fee was kind of hefty for my poor student budget at the time, but the result was worth it. They did a good job and the craftsmanship was of good quality.

The Regan Nursury is pretty much an outdoor store with a lot of plants to choose from. They have everything from roses to trees. I was particularly impressed with their selection of roses which include roses bushes, plants, and trees. We could spent a good hour or so there just walking through the greenhouse. The inside is pretty much just a trailer but houses a cat and a number of cute little trinkets and decorative items.

I like the store. In general the prices are kinda high, but the stuff they carry is pretty nice. Definitely sign up for their mailing list because you will get coupons like 20% off of one items in mail regularly. Also I recently got a 10 piece cookware set which was on sale and after getting the mail-in rebate, it turned out to be almost free.... Can't beat that price.

Pure Beauty offers a lot of different promotions for just buying a few hair, face, body, or bath products. Take you pick among their 7 shelves or so. There is a hair salon connected to the store that is quite pricey and trendy itself, but the store retail part of it has some good deals. For example, if you buy $40 or so worth of styling products, you can get a free subscription to a fashion or beauty magazine. Or, you can do the buy one get one free promotion instead.

It is possible to buy those do it yourself puzzle pieces of flooring and just lay them out throughout your house on your own. But, when I can, I like to have professionals do the job for me to make sure that everything is in its place and sturdy. These guys really know a lot about hundreds of grades and styles of floor materials. If you have a question that needs to be answered, they will have no problem explaining everything to you. They did a good job supplying me with what I needed and now I can enjoy my new hardwood floors.

My vacuum cleaner suddenly made a loud snapping and groaning noise and shut down. I thought it might be too far gone to repair, but I figured it would not hurt to bring it in and ask if anything could be done. The repairman working at the store was courteous and quick to help. He expertly grabbed a few tools from behind the desk and proceeded to take apart my vacuum. It only took 20 minutes total to fix it. Apparently the rubber belt had burned up and snapped because of wear and tear. He did a nice and fast job.

One year that I didn't order Valentine's day flowers online I came here to get them. Wasn't terribly expensive considering it was valentine's day and flowers were pretty good quality. They did a really nice job wrapping/dressing up the flowers, adding baby's breath, leaves, and other nice fillers.
