Hobby Lobby

A great place to find arts and crafts items. They do coupons which is 40% off one item. I needed to look for Halloween stuff to make gift tags four our employees. I looked around the store and found some cool stuff. At the end, I ended up with Halloween ribbons and metallic markers. I guess I should be more prepared on what I want to do because it can get a bit exhausting. So my idea was tie the bags with the ribbons and write the names on ribbon. I guess it’s crafty, right? Meh, not so much. Looking around the store was pretty cool though. A lot things came into mind while walking around the store.

I frequent this Hobby Lobby at least once a week. I run an Etsy business and this is where I come to get my craft supplies. I like their selection of items and I can normally find what I’m looking for pretty easily. However, the customer service here needs a lot of work. When I go to check out I often have to correct the cashier because they never know what is on sale and what is not from the weekly ad. I have often had to go back into the store because my purchase was not rang up with the sale price. I have also been told that the glass décor that I’m purchasing is metal so it’s not on sale. Really? The employees aren’t the friendliest and when they are friendly it seems fake. The only reason why I even come here because it’s very close to my home and they have what I need for my Etsy business. I hope the customer service improves though.

I love the variety this store offers! They have everything from silk floral, furniture, home décor, gardening, arts and crafts and seasonal items. I do however wish that their prices were a bit lower. It seems that Michael’s has them beat with price and also locations. I am looking forward to the new store on the Northside. Overall great selection!

So, I absolutely love this place and all the shelves are stocked from top to bottom with any kind of crafts you could ever imagine and any kind of Christmas piece available for your decorations, crafting, or wrapping needs. My only complaint is there were only three registers open and a line of at least 10 people per register if not more. I waited 14 minutes just to get some bells and ribbon for my child’s classroom winter party crafts and I thought it was a little excessive since there were four other empty registers and plenty of staff on hand.

Great selection of products but holy cow the service is AWFUL!!! Your employees at the register are so inept, poorly trained and are not efficient. How does this store not scan barcodes to ring up prices? So if there’s no price printed on the tag then they have to run a price check. Incredible.

I’ve been doing a lot of price checking and have found that hobby lobby is the place to go if your looking for something anything remotely related to arts and crafts. Their party supplies are very cute and they have plenty of themes/​colors to choose from. However they are the lowest priced if and only if you use your 40% coupon. But dont be fooled they only let you use one coupon per person per day. And even if you go with a friend or two so you can get multiple items they will drag out the check out process by making you do seperate transactions.
The customer service is okay. Dont try and even bother looking for someone to help you in this gigantic warehouse of a craft store. oh and did i mention they are completely closed on sunday? Overall i like this place not friendly but not mean. not too expensive but not super duper cheap and resonably priced only if you have your coupon.
