Hobby Lobby

I love this hobby lobby! The staff is always so friendly and the store is always clean. Hobby lobby is one of my favorites stores because the deals are so amazing! You can get a 40% off one reg. priced item on the website. It’s great! I came in to get a new watercolor book and fresh water colors. Everything is easy to find and labeled clearly. Wonderful store!

This store is definitely the place to go if you’re into arts and crafts… They have a little bit of everything… The employees are friendly and helpful… The store is clean and very organized… You can spend hours looking at everything they have; although at around 7:30pm they start announcing that the store will be closing at 8:00pm… They do this repeatedly until the store closes… We get it people you want us to leave before you close… But don’t you want us to buy something first???
Other than that minor annoyance this store is very nice and I’ll definitely be back again soon!

I’ve always been a fan of Hobby Lobby and it’s no different with this brand new location that just opened last month on the Northside at River City Marketplace. I can literally get lost in this store for hours!
They have all things you’d need for crafty projects whether you’re painting, scrap booking, making jewelry, sewing, etc., etc., etc.
They also do framing here. I haven’t had anything framed at this particular store yet, but I know I will in the future. I have had several items framed at the Hobby Lobby in Mandarin and they have always done an excellent job. I love that you can choose your frame and border.
They have seasonal items. Right now you’ll find all things Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the store.
They have some really cute small furniture pieces here like end tables and shelves. I find these items to be a little pricey though.
Here’s where I get really lost in the store… You could decorate your entire home pretty much just from this store alone. Clocks, mirrors, paintings, knick-​knacks, pillows, etc. They have some really unique items too. Just browsing around in there tonight I found some really cute things I want to get for my two daughters to use for decorating my granddaughter and grandson’s rooms.
The employees are really friendly. They have plenty of people at the registers so there’s not a long wait to check out.
In case you aren’t familiar with Hobby Lobby’s policy, they are only open Monday — Saturday. That’s right, just like Chick-​Fil-​A, they are closed on Sundays to allow their employees to worship. Many, many people have a huge problem with this. I’m not one of them. If they want to close on Sundays because of their religious beliefs, then more power to them.
The one and only reason I gave this store 4 stars rather than 5 is because they close at 8:00pm. At promptly 7:30, they start announcing over the loudspeaker that they are closing. They continue to make this announcement every 5 minutes until 8:00pm. It goes something like this: The time is now 7:30pm and we close at 8:00pm. We are open Monday — Saturday from 9:00am — 8:00pm and we are closed on Sundays to allow our employees to worship. We will be closing in 30 minutes. … The time is now 7:35pm and we close at 8:00pm. We are open Monday — Saturday from 9:00am — 8:00pm and we are closed on Sundays to allow our employees to worship. We will be closing in 25 minutes. …
Ok, that’s enough of that. You get the idea. Bottom line is it got real annoying, real fast.
So, other than their repetitive, annoying announcements which begin 30 minutes prior to closing each night, I really, really like Hobby Lobby and I’m so, so thrilled we now have one on our side of town!
