Hobby Lobby is primarily an arts and crafts store but also includes picture framing, jewelry making, fabrics, floral and wedding supplies, cards and party products, baskets, wearable art, home furnishings, and holiday merchandise. The company’s activities are highly influenced by its founder David Green and his conservative Christian beliefs. The Hobby Lobby stores are closed on Sundays so that staff can spend time with their families and worship God. Hobby Lobby is known among customers for its amazing shopping atmosphere (right down to the lighting and music in the background), friendly staff, and high-quality products. Hobby Lobby often donates half of its total pretax earnings to evangelical ministries.
Hobby Lobby’s expansion has been accelerating throughout the course of its existence. However, the company does not have any locations outside of the USA at the moment and does not provide international shipping for online customers. In regard to operating hours, Hobby Lobby is typically open from 9 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday, with all stores closed on Sundays.
