Hobby Lobby

I really want to like this place, I do… But… I can’t.
1. I don’t think anyone works there! Seriously, finding an associate to help you with anything at all is nearly impossible.
2. Lots of their merchandise is in poor shape… Frames are dinged up, trays are broken, etc.
3. «It’s impossible» (what I was told) to place an order at the store to get said dinged up frames in their next delivery. I was then told «you must be really picky because those don’t look too bad– I’ve seen worse.»… Really, HL?
4. Way over priced! Don’t feed me that 50% off BS… Don’t mark stuff way up just so you can pretend you have lots of «great sales!» Lame.
5. Cashier said «did you find everything you were looking for today?», me: «actually I didn’t and I’m a little disappointed regarding today’s experience.» Cashier: «oh, okay.» Hmmmmm.
Back to Amazon I go… No time to deal with poorly trained, ignorant «workers» (a joke in and of itself!).

Have a few hours and $$ to blow? This is your place. I love this store and how «creative «I feel when leaving here.

Why no love for the Apopka Hobby Lobby? If you are a fan of this type of store (Jo Ann’s, Michael’s, Home Goods), this place has most of everything you would need. The store here is huge (they took over an old Albertsons), that staff is quite friendly, and the coupons are plentiful. Download their app and you will have a 40% off coupon for one item with you at all times.
Prices here are reasonable, and the sales are great when they have them for the items you are looking for. Each time I have been here, they are quick to open new registers when the lines are backed up, and it seems that everyone is genuinely happy to be working there. Bear in mind that they are closed on Sundays, and close earlier than most stores (8:00) on normal operating days. For Apopka, it is a welcome addition to our shopping options.

This is a very nice store, but I’ve been in here over an hour with my wife, and it’s football Saturday. What more is there to look at.
It’s a good thing my Spartans have a bye week.
Wow! Have to update this review and bump it up one more star. Just used the restroom and it was immaculate. I’ve never seen a public restroom so bright and clean. Thank you HL management.

Poor to non exsistsnt customer service. Store is not ver clean or pleasant to shop in. Same stuff can be found at any other craft store or Big Box store and with better service and prices. Not impressed and we won’t be back. Not sure how this company has managed to stay in business for so long.

Hobby Lobby just opened their latest store on 436 in Apopka. I’ve never been in a Hobby Lobby before, but I would describe it as a combination of Home Goods with a Michaels/​Jo Ann’s. It’s a pretty large space and there is plenty of room to negotiate the aisles and tons of stuff to take in. They have fake flowers, fabric, furniture, crafts of all kinds, wall décor, knick knacks, picture frames, toys and more.
I thought the prices were just OK, it’s one of those places that will have random sales (50% off frames, for example) that make you wonder if the full price you pay on other things is really a rip off. Should I wait for this to be half off next week? I only noticed a few employees stocking shelves and no one asked if I needed help or greeted me until I was at the register. The checkout is painfully slow. The items that are on sale (there are plenty) do not ring up so the cashier has to go through the paper flyer, find your item, determine if that particular brand is included in the sale then manually enter the price. It was taking for-​ever. Especially if you are behind a little old lady with a cart full, like I was! I hope maybe this is just because their system isn’t fully up and running.
They are unapologetically Christian and offer a large selection of Bible based items. They are also closed Sundays and even made an announcement Saturday as they were closing that, «We will be closed Sunday for family time and to worship». Nice.
