The other Michael's
Has anyone mentioned that there's a big (non-locally-owned, but with Birmingham-area locations) craft store chain called "Michael's"? I suppose we don't have to disambiguate until we have an entry for that store. --Lkseitz (talk) 05:13, 29 July 2020 (PDT)
- I think it's fair to disambiguate. It appears that the craft store chain is styled as a plural "Michaels" ("The Michaels Companies Inc. d/b/a Michaels") rather than a possessive "Michael's". --Dystopos (talk) 07:56, 29 July 2020 (PDT)
