Hobby Lobby

I could do some serious damage here. I absolutely LOVE this store! This is actually the only location I’ve been to.
Every time I go, everything is organized. Of course like all stores, some thing are out of place. But that’s really not that big of a deal to me.
Whenever an employee is walking around, they’ll ask if I need help finding anything. Which I like.
*****download the HobbyLobby app! They have deals on there ALL THE TIME!!! I actually went there the other day and almost everything was 50% off except one thing I had purchased wasn’t, so I got my phone out, opened the app and had a 40% off coupon!

Pros:
–Offers a coupon for 40% off
–Prices are great and there are good sales every week
–Way better than Michaels, this store has almost every craft supply you can think of and has furniture and home accents
Cons:
–Be prepared to wait in a long line, since sometimes there aren’t enough cashiers
–This store doesn’t have scanners, so checking out takes a while since cashiers have to type everything in manually
–Make sure you DON“T change you’re mind on something after the cashier has rung it up, since the store doesn’t let cashiers void out items you don’t want anymore and the cashier will either have to ring your whole transaction over again from the beginning or you will have to go to the return line.

I brought in a framed picture that needed the glass replaced. I talked to Christina on the phone prior to coming in, and again at the store. Janelle replaced the glass and put the frame back together. Both young ladies are friendly, efficient and helpful. Any employer would be lucky to have them. In no time I walked out with my repaired picture. They did a great job. Thank you!

Excellent selection of merchandise! Prices are Fabulous!
Great customer service!

I had to rate this store based on my experience with the customer service manager Jerry. The first time I came into the store I let his attitude and poor customer service slide and figured that he may be having a bad day. Second time, same bad attitude and poor customer service, I can not be so generous. I came into the store to pick up an order and the sales representative called him for assistance and be replied, «what»? It was rude and unprofessional. He should not be responding to his staff in that manner more so in front of a customer. He should retire or step down if he is not in the business of providing superior customer service or stay in the back stocking where customer interactions are not necessary. It was obvious that he did not care to assist her or me. I will be contacting the general manager regarding his behavior and unprofessionalism. I drive all the way to Hobby Lobby from Hayward, a 25 minute commute, I am a paying customer, and I do not deserve to be treated in such a manner neither does the sales associate. I will try Michael’s in the future for my craft items. The saddest part is I absolutely love the store and the huge selection of items. Jerry is not an effective nor positive representative of Hobby Lobby.

Arts and crafts galore! Its like a Joann and Michael’s merged together. Huge store, clean, somewhat organized. Prices are fair to moderate, ample parking. Only disorderly thing I found was the check out line. Instead of it being in one line heading for the cashier’s, they have us loop around a display case only to have to go back into a straight line… Why??? Not sure but I will come back to find my supplies without having to make 2 trips to Joann and Michael’s. Happy crafting away!

This is an okay store for what it is. The employees are really friendly and they seem to have a pretty decent selection of stuff.
I am only rating it 3 stars because I went in looking for a specific item that I felt that they should of had and they did not have it.

I would not have been able to plan my wedding without this store. The staff is super helpful and knowledgable. The prices and discounts saved my wallet. And the selection of everything home and craft related is just endless. My all time favorite store!

It’s like Michaels on Crack. This store is friggen amazing!
If you’re into DIY crafting or hodge-​podge décor, this is the spot! I love coming here for gift wrapping stuff and christmas décor! They have all kinds of random stuff! It’s huge!!!
Great addition to the Dubworld!

This store is amazing. I’ve been known to get lost in here and have to «phone a friend» to help tempt me out of the store.
They have a wonderful selection of yard, fabric and crafting items. The home goods sections are put together well and tempting always!
Don’t forget to use their app to get a 40% coupon.

All your craft store needs and wants have been answered. And it’s called HOBBY LOBBY.
Hobby Lobby has EVERYTHING you need. There’s aisles and aisles of items that blow your mind since you go needing one thing, and leaving with armfuls of items and craft projects you never even wanted to do but will now that you have all the supplies for it!
Be sure to download their app from your phone and pull up the 40% off coupon at checkout. Sometimes if you’re nice, the cashier will just give you the 40% off, but I’ve noticed they don’t quite like just giving it out if you don’t have proof of a coupon.
Parking is super easy. Be warned they aren’t open Sundays, which is a real bummer because that’s the only time I am ever able to make it to this store. If you can’t find what you’re looking for at Michael’s or JoAnn’s across the way, be sure to come by here.

Why the hate y’all? This place is the hobby mothership & I’m that annoying girl who always calls to see if there’s an item in their inventory before I actually head over.
This store is amazing. Who needs Joanne’s, Michael’s or Blick’s anymore? Well… occasionally maybe Joanne’s since they have just a tad more specific fabrics than Hobby Lobby.
You can find everything and anything here. From hipster-​ish to rustic home décor, from paint pads to fake florals (they have an amazing selection that puts Michael’s and Joanne’s to shame)!
Everything is organized and there’s always a 40% off coupon! I could be here for days.

Stay at home mom heaven. LOL! If you were to combine Michael’s, and HomeGoods you’d get Hobby Lobby!!! I’m from Fremont, and I’ll make the «monthly,» trip out here!
Great one stop shop store as well as plaza. Target is only a few steps away!

If JoAnn and Michael’s had a bastard child with Ross and HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby would be the result.
I’ve tried to go to this location on 3 separate occasions, but each time was thwarted. Twice because I had forgotten they closed at 8PM (so used to retail stores closing at 9PM), and once because it was Sunday and I forgot the stores were closed due to religious beliefs. I’m so glad I finally managed to get out here on a Saturday afternoon!
When I first walked in, I was instantly overwhelmed. I had expected like a Michael’s/JoAnn/Beverly’s superstore, not an art supply store on the fringes with a HomeGoods/​Ross store center.
The huge assortment of stuff is cool. I personally LOVE looking through home décor items (even though I don’t remotely have enough space for the items I already have), so this was an amazing store to walk through. Organization, though, was hard to figure out at first. If you’re here for the art supplies portion, walk along the perimeter of the store. If you’re here for home décor, stick to the center.
I bought 150 plastic bobbins for thread here (50/​pk) for $ 0.99 each! I was sad that they didn’t appear to have any metal stamping supplies here, but that’s not a huge thing.
The only thing that really bugged me was their checkout system. Employees have to physically enter the 6-​digit code found on each different item into the register — they don’t have barcodes for them to scan on the items! Multiples are easy enough, but the lady in front of us bought a shopping cart full of 80% off Christmas décor — each item with a different item code to enter. It took FOREVER.
But other than that, it wasn’t too bad. I’ll probably come back out here for plastic bobbins since they’re so cheap (and maybe some storage boxes, too…), but otherwise I don’t think it’s necessarily worth the drive.

I’m in love! U can’t even compare Michael’s, JoAnn Fabric, Beverly’s or any art supply store to this place. It has everything, it’s huge & the prices are great!!! Make sure you have eaten & don’t bring any shopping novices, there’s too much to see. We’ve been there almost every week since we discovered the Pleasanton location & swear I notice something new every time we go in.
Furniture is always on sale — 30% off, framing is 60%, most everything else is 50% off every day & if it’s not u can always use the app, which will fetch u 40% reg price. Note: u can use the discount once a day for the life of the coupon & cannot use any coupons when there’s an existing discount.
U can also sign-​up for email coupons.
It’s a great place to buy games, items for school projects, home décor, patterns, fabric & yarn, holiday decorations & wrapping, baking supplies, items for your pets, frame memorabilia or art, gardening supplies, party supplies & jewelry making supplies.
P. S. The bathrooms are super clean

Shopping in Dublin is not my fav pass time. However when I enter a store and walk around for 30mins I expect at least one of the five employees there to speak to me. Nope.
It reminds me of shopping in Walnut Creek. Dont expect any type of customer service if you are just out running errands in sweatpants and a tee shirt. Yeah it seems to be that kinda of place. Avoid

This store has an amazing selection of crafts, home goods and more. It is like a dream! Huge space. Like Michael’s, Joann’s and Home Goods had a love child.
Minus one star because the three times I’ve shopped here I have never been acknowledged. Definite lack of friendliness. The selection of items makes it worth the visit still. Good addition to Dublin.

You know I swore I would never give business to this place and yet here I am having to buy art supplies for school. Where else would I find natural raffia? WTH is raffia anyways?
Anyhow, I’m sure I could find this stuff at Michael’s but Hobby Lobby was conveniently placed and rumored to be large. I figured it would have oodles of weird crafty crap. Can you tell I’m not into crafts myself? LOL.
The store is HUGE. I’m not convinced it has the inventory to match. It seemed like one quarter of it is devoted to fake flowers/​seasonal decorations. One quarter seems to be all about sewing (gah that brings back bad memories) and then you have the other half with everything else.
After asking 3 different people where I could find raffia (and getting three different answers), I finally found what I needed and got the heck out of dodge.
I appreciate that the employees are so friendly and helpful (even if they didn’t know exactly where to find stuff), but the overt religiousness of the place kind of throws me off to be honest. I don’t mind businesses being religious but this is kind of in your face. Don’t expect to find Halloween decorations here. I think that’s against their religion. You will however find plenty of Fall decorations and they already have Christmas stuff up. I think I should take a star off for that. I hate seeing Christmas before Halloween.

I don’t know why all the complaints… especially, the place being cavernous and too big… hmmm…Yes, i had a different perception of what this place would be (i.e. craft projects galore) but it seemed more like a Michael’s and TJ Maxx Home Goods in one big store.
Items we’re more decorative items for your home if youre doing a man cave (vintage auto signs, galvanized items) or adding a theme to a room. Lots of vintage reproductions which i don’t mind… especially, if i’ve been looking for a specific items at the Alameda Antique Fair for years. And Im not one of those type of people who has to have an item be vintage ala ‘dead people’s stuff’! The reproduction of the ceiling tin or embellishment, tin signs or metal trays work perfectly and Hobby Lobby is a great find!
If i actually had the attention span for a hobby like sewing, painting, drawing, this would be a place to come to!
And as one Unilocaler mentioned:**Do Check Your Receipt** before leaving. I bought some mosaic glass that had a regular tag so it didn’t give me the advertised 30% discount. Fortunately, i noticed and got my $ 3.45 credit adjustment.

A business that was finally large enough to occupy the former Expo Center. It intrigued me as to what this store was, one afternoon when I had time to kill, I headed over here. I’ve had no former knowledge of this store. Solely by the name, I assumed that it would be like Michael’s, mainly a craft store. But when I went inside, I found out that it’s actually not.
I mean, okay… I guess they do have crafting items and fabrics and what-​not throughout. But if I had to describe this store, it’s more of a home décor store. I walked up and down the aisles, I actually love home décor stores and decorating my own home.
They have pretty much anything that you’d want to accessorize your home. Some of the furniture pieces were a little pricier than I expected. There were good deals on other items though, like picture frames. It’s that old «mark everything up 200% and then discount it» psychology trick department and box stores tend to do.
I purchased a friend’s graduation gift, which was a frame. It was 50% off when I got to the register. So $ 10 for a frame is always a score. The only thing is that they don’t have gift receipts. Or maybe they do and the lady that rung me up didn’t know how to do it because she didn’t know how to count change either :| Training, right?
The other thing that I found interesting was the «closed on Sundays» thing. Yeah, church, seventh day for rest… I get it. Maybe that’s how they do it in the mid-​west, south, Utah… where ever. But um, FYI HL Executives: people in California shop on Sundays. But that’s none of my business. Moral of the story: buy half priced merchandise and don’t come here on Sunday because they won’t be open!
