Hobby Lobby

Between the rudeness of customers cramming ahead of you in line or jumping at the next line opening despite you being there a while and they haven’t, the staff’s sullen demeanor, and the never-​ending issue of not enough registers being open, this is surely where your patience will go to die.
Yesterday, I finally left my items on the shelf before the register and went home empty-​handed. I really didn’t have the heart to speak-​up and fight old ladies who hadn’t been waiting in line as long as I had (it happened several times) or wait while others counted out coins from a jar for their large purchases. I’d give a them a better rating, but this is the same story nearly every time. OPEN MORE REGISTERS, OR ASK THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSON CHECKING OUT TO THE NEWLY-​OPENED REGISTER.
Sometimes you need supplies and don’t want to drive to a specialty store in Denver traffic, so you slip on your big girl panties, take a deep breath, and prepare to be irritated.

Every time I even walk into this location I regret it.
I used to go in for 1 skein of yarn at a time because I could use my coupon and the prices are a little high.
But I give this location one start for two reasons.
The first being the people. I work retail, at a craft store nonetheless. Theta NO excuse for their service. There was one day I walked in and passed every employee, not a single one greeted me, asked if I needed help (even at the point I looked like I needed help), and in general they’re very cold.
The second being that their method of ringing people up causes unnecessarily long waits. They still hand type in everything. No Barcodes or anything. It’s inefficient and as stuck in the past as the ceo’s view.

I usually avoid Hobby Lobby because of their twisted politics, but I was in a hurry. I was looking for a particular item, but had no luck. I saw no fewer than 6 employees, and not one offered to help me. Too many personal conversations going on. The line was, as it always is, slow and long, and the store was uncomfortably hot… And all this with the free dose of religion, from the Jesus music to the «Testamints» for sale at the counter. Deliver me!

I like this store for it’s selection, but that is about all.
Their customer service on the floor is atrocious. Good luck finding someone to help you, and God forbid you pull someone away from a task, they will definitely make their dissatisfaction known!
Checking out is a joke, as it takes a while, but the majority of the time, the cashiers are super friendly. The sales floor team should take some lessons on friendliness and customer service from them.
Prices can be high, but I love the 40% off coupon.
I really have a hard time wanting to come back to this store especially if I know in going to need help from someone, because, in my opinion, the customer service is that bad. The last few times we needed assistance to get locked up art supplies and the women that helped both times didn’t say a single word to us. Really makes it hard to want to spend my money there, no matter how much I like everything else.

I love this store! The fact that I used to work there and still rate this place high says a lot. Those hours of putting back beads and old hags yelling about their yarn being half off. I digress. Never buy anything that isn’t on sale or you are a fool. Every week things trade off being on sale so don’t pay full price. Also you can print off a 40% coupon for those times you just can’t wait to buy that throw pillow for your cat. Hands down best place for all crafts and decorations. They have great holiday décor as well which gets real cheap after the holiday passes. I could spend hours in this store but not on Sunday because they are closed that day, noob.

Very friendly staff and large selection. Check the website for coupons.

I was in Hobby Lobby recently to pick up some craft supplies. I was wearing a T-​Shirt that has a cartoon character on it, Jack, from Nightmare before Christmas. When I was checking out. the girl at the register was rude, and I asked her what was wrong. She said she found my t-​shirt offensive! I asked her why… and she said no «Christian» would wear a shirt like that. I told her good. I am not a Christian because of people like you, and I walked without the items I was going to buy. I went to Micheal’s instead… and got excellent customer service, cheaper prices, and no discrimination! I won’t go back to Hobby Lobby for any reason!

First — they definitely can be overpriced if you aren’t using a coupon or shopping the sales.
Next — I buy a LOT of craft labels — and they don’t have many. Also, they sell an off brand (instead of Avery) of some labels — and that off brand DOES NOT margin or print correctly.
I’ve definitely felt lost many times in this store — but an associate will help you (problem is, a lot of times, they don’t know either…)
Parking lot is normally pretty full, with crazy drivers…
There always seems to be a line…
If you can deal with all that — AND find your product — you’ll be happy with it when you finally get it home!

I have gotten lost in this store more times than I care to admit… and I am not talking about «getting lost aka exploring». I am talking about the «oh crap! Where did mom go???» lost.
Hobby Lobby has been feeding my pop up addictions for many, many years. It has been my go to for all of my random «passions». Who knew that I would fall in and out of love with rug making and shadowboxing in the same month?
This is just the place to stock up on tons of craft supplies that you may or may not ever use more than once or twice. That being said, Hobby Lobby also has some great deals on furniture (I got my dining room table and chairs for $ 80! What what!) and holiday decorations. Everything is always on sale at one point or another and the staff is always willing to help.
The checkout lines, however, are just downright comical. They literally have one or two lines open at a time with at least 10 people waiting in each line. The last time I was here I couldn’t stifle my giggles as an employee was doing an exchange at a register and then frantically started yelling at the hoards of people «I am not open! I am NOT open!!!» Don’t come here if you are in a rush.

This location has two different listings on Unilocal,so I’m recapping my review from the other listing. I give it two stars. Here’s why.
1. Cranky check-​out clerks. This is no fluke. I’ve experienced it every time I’ve been there (6 – 7 times).
2. Employees get flustered and even crankier when you want to make a return/​exchange. I got lectured for not having checked the product more thoroughly when I bought it.
3. Cash register system is antiquated and, consequently, check-​out is very slow.
4. Be prepared for returns/​exchanges to take a very long time with department managers called, price checks done, and various processes needing to be undertaken in far corners of the store — despite having your original receipt. I don’t even what to imagine what might happen if you don’t have your receipt.
I like Hobby Lobby stores in general, despite the slow systems, but will not be shopping at this location again. The only thing that saves this location from a one-​star rating is that the young woman who runs the custom framing department is very professional and knowledgeable.

Honestly, I find it ironic, i can’t find any of my Hobbies located in a Hobby Lobby.
Yet, I find myself taking inventory there almost ever other week. If you fish, no poles… if you mountain bike, no bikes… if you lift weights… you get the picture.
But I do love this place. It’s the way, as the seasons and holidays change, the front of the store changes with them. (Just like mom did that summer she turned 52).
Now if you are an arts and crafts connoisseur this is your place… frames, canvases, paints, material, shadow boxes (not boxers though, see above), do dats, whatcha-​callits and thing-​a-​majigs, hell it’s the Doctor Seuss of Stores.
So the next time you can’t find one of those dilly bops used on the bottom of your who-​dickey, I bet you’ll find it at Hobby Lobby.

This is a really big Hobby Lobby. I was a little dismayed though, that I went in at the end of August and they already had their Christmas junk out. Really? September is pushing it, but August is definitely too early. I went to look at their yarn. They only had two aisles for it. I guess I was expecting more, but since this is a place that spreads itself out for the hobby gamut, I am not really that surprised.

Every time I walk in here, I die and go to heaven. They have items here I cant find anywhere else, and the associates are very knowledgeable in their departments.
I can and have spent hours just looking and planning a new project. From my knitting supplies, to Christmas decorations they are never short on ideas that fit exactly what I am imagining.
Recently my son’s scout den was allowed to use one of their class rooms for a mobile project they were working on. They were so courteous and helpful, making sure that all the parents, scouts and even the siblings found the right room but had a good time creating.
This store is my Mecca. They run incredible sales (which comes in so handy) and if you sign up online you can get additional coupons to use! They offer a variety of classes.
I would love to work at Hobby Lobby, except I would never have the extra money in my pocket, instead I would have to get a room at home just for everything I brought home!

Really good selection — but VERY expensive. Not a fan. My wife has dragged me to much better, less expensive craft stores.

This huge somewhat sterile emporium has some delightful surprizes.
Here are my favorites:
–frilly designer lamps made in China and Korea
–frilly designer birdhouses made in China
–frilly silk flowers made in China
–frilly decorator do-​dads made in China
–pen, pencils, frames made in China
–wall décor, much of it frilly, made in China.
–fussy plates made in Thailand
I love this all-​American place.

Hobby Lobby is the mecca of all things crafty here in Colorado. This truely is one stop shopping. They have it all. Scrapbooking, Framing, Painting, Sewing, Knitting, Floral Arranging, Baking, etc…
Some things are pretty cool… but there are moments when you think your grandma would LOVE shopping here with you.
«Ooooh, look at this! Lets make matching bedazzled visors and t-​shirts.»
«Uuuuuh… No thanks, Grandma.»
Hobby Lobby has great tools and supplies … but if you are truely looking for something unique and hip (no grandma … I wasn’t talking about you hip replacement surgery…), try the Fancy Tiger on Broadway.

Tons of stuff, from rockets to toy houses to frames to floral to seasonal to… You get the idea. It has pretty much everything crafty and decorative that you might want, however the checkout is insanely stupid. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood in line behind six or seven other customers because there are only one or two registers open. Meanwhile, employees are wandering around the checkout area but cannot open another register. Add to this the frustration of not having prices marked on products. I’ve been asked on several occasions, «What’s the price on this?» Then, even though I tell them what it was marked, someone then has to go and look it up. They could travel to Kansas and back in the amount of time it takes. Then everybody is standing around behind you waiting. Figure it out! I dread going in, but they do have what I need.

I want to be adopted by Hobby Lobby. I want to someday inherit the insane amount of goodies that fill this place. On top of that, maybe they would let me set up a little living quarter in the back — might as well, I practically live here as it is.
Compared to other craft stores, this one actually stays very organized. And for how HUGE this store is, that is very surprising. They have everything crafty. I’ve never had a problem finding things here. The staff is great about directing you towards whatever you’re needing. They have great sales and I feel their day to day prices are very fair.
Ok, so it’s slim I’ll be adopted and be able to change my last name to HobLob. So for now, I’ll just stay a loyal fan and shopper.

This is a great store for anything crafty. They carry everything: cards, stationary, balloons, rubber stamps, clay, model cars/​planes, air brushing, cake decorating supplies, wedding stuff, scrapbooking, paints (acrylic/​oil/​poster), fabric, sewing patterns, ribbon, school project supplies, vases, clocks, craft kits, beading, yarn, knitting, crochet, floral, some furniture, drawing and painting, custom framing, and more. Thats just the stuff I’ve looked at. All of it is very reasonable and every week they have things on sale, 25%-50% off! I usually go when they have scrapbooking paper on sale.
