Pat Catan's is based in Strongsville, Ohio and has several locations near Cleveland. They usually offer better prices than Michaels. Some stores also have a large art section (like the Parma one) that is much better in my opinion than Michaels. Though Pat Catan's isn't a fancy place, it will get the job done. I don't need to pay extra to walk on nicer tile. The Berea Road location can be a little dusty at times, but has a great little dollar store attached to it that I believe is also owned by Catans. The Parma location is two stories high, with the top devoted to art materials. I do not believe it is accessible to those who cannot walk up the stairs, however. Sometimes, Pat Catans has really good sales where they put the stuff they want to get rid of outside, and you go in and pay. These are usually great deals. I am happy with Pat Catans and normally would choose it over any other craft store. The employees are very helpful as well.
