Hobby Lobby

Great staff, everyone is helpful. he only thing i do not like about this place is its sooo expensive. everytime i go in there i am just shocked at how expensive everything is. Long story short i got some high end fine point markers like 2 for $ 8 or something, got home and they bleed so much ink they were useless. do not mind paying if the stuff works.

So many discounts going on when I last visited in early May. The staff knows where things are located and are very helpful. I haven’t done crafts in a while so I forgot many things, thankfully the staff rinsed me of what I need to get so I don’t have to run there again. Love this place.

I was looking for their phone number and while doing so I found their reviews on Unilocal to be confounding until I read the full reviews. I am not surprised at the vile feelings of «non-​Christians» against any and all Christian establishments. I was surprised at some reviews of rude behavior and long lines, etc… We have been shopping at Hobby Lobby for 10 – 12 years now and have never experienced any of this. For the last 10 years we’ve been going to the Hobby Lobby in College Station, and we know that due to the nature of the college town, many employees are only their for a check, but really, their only human. Most are good people with a desire to help the customer. You can’t keep a job if you don’t.
So — unbiased opinion — good people, good service, good products that we can find no where else. I’m happy.

I really love Hobby Lobby as a teacher this store is needed! I love the prices esp with the discounts! The employees have no knowledge of their products not the layout but they are friendly! I live the color set up with the home décor and the fabrics are amazing! They have great ideas and the store holds so much!

Love going here. You can always catch a sale. I could go here everyday. Pinterest does not help much either.

Total crap. Seriously. Always long lines, never enough staff and all in all a total beating to shop. It’s a wonder anyone comes back for more. I guess people are a glutton for punishment. Whatever it is I need, I don’t need it bad enough to buy it here. This sentiment isn’t limited to this location. All hobby lobby stores suck.

Rude employees who aren’t knowledgeable about the hobby products, slightly-​better-​than-​bank hours, and the slowest, most inefficient inventory and checkout system this side of the Stone Age. What’s not to dislike about this place?

I’ve been wanting to write a review about Hobby Lobby for YEARS. Well, today I quit smoking, and I’d like to punch a random stranger in the junk. So instead, I’m going to tell y’all of my Hobby Lobby experience, why they can suck it, and why I will never go back.
About six years ago, I was in a Kansas City Hobby Lobby, having frequented them for years. I’m a professional artist, and always in need of supplies. So it’s online shopping at DickBlick, or physical shopping at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. I’d known about Hobby Lobby’s Christian ownership, why it’s closed on Sundays, all that stuff… don’t really care. I’m not a Christian, but c’est la vie, and live and let live and blahblahblah…
So I’m in there in a camisole-​style shirt and jeans, standing with a full cart looking at something, and the MANAGER walks up to me and says, «Your tattoo. You know that’s an abomination in the eyes of the lord, don’t you?» I said, «I’m sorry, WHAT?» And she repeated herself.
And I said, «Wow. Really? Here’s what I do know. I’m leaving this cart behind, taking my money with me, and never coming back. F**king creep.»
And then left and went home and wrote a scathing email to the president of the company, which was never answered.
Maybe boycotting them for the last six years is a little drastic, but deep down, it makes me happy knowing that I’ll never give those creepy buttheads another dime of my money.
Helllloooo, Michael’s!

It’s hard to believe that being hobby geekish types that we spent 4 years in College Station without ever stepping foot inside here. I guess it’s a combination of the cheap /​temporary looking shopping center that reminds us of a cardboard structure, and a disdain for all things «chain».
This is the largest hobby store in College Station. Was massively impressed with the extremely huge variety. Everything from paintings to thousands of types of paper, models including an impressive selection of Japanese sports car kits, model rockets and motors, model trains (yeah!), space food (no kidding, see photos), tons of geek items like self replicating nano robots and right down to the original Ant Farm. Gotta love a place like that. Couples, take your cells phones as it’s very easy to get lost in here. :) Awesomeness. I normally only give a max of 3 stars for any chain but for College Station this has a wow factor and 4 stars does seem appropriate. Thumbs up.

I visit Hobby Lobby a 1 – 2 times a year, but when I do, I spend way too much time there. I typically leave with a novelty pen I haven’t seen anywhere else, and a few assorted knick-​knacks. Maybe if I was a serious artist I’d leave with more stuff, but I vent a lot of my creative energy with Illustrator & Photoshop, and simply reading.
