Hobby Lobby

This is my all time favorite store! It truly has everything I need. It’s pretty much a one stop shop for me. Home décor, arts and crafts supplies, party supplies, décor and supplies for every holiday, fabric, frames, etc. You name it, they have it! I honestly have to control myself when I come here and limit the amount of times I come. It’s that addicting!
Some of the reasons why I love coming here have to do with the fact that it is a Christian owned company, they play Christian music in the store, and their employees are wonderful. You can always count on an employee being around to ask questions. And, they have the answers to all of your questions, they take you to exactly what you’re looking for, and they do it with a smile. Now that’s top notch customer service!
I love that they rotate their sales. So, if it’s not on sale this week, it will be on sale next week. I never pay full price for anything! I always wait for the sale. And, the sale is always 50% off. If you really need something that isn’t on sale, they always offer a 40% off coupon on one regular priced item via their app. You can’t beat that! I can’t say enough or get enough of this place!

Starting pushing religion on me at the check stand. Not cool. I know they are a religious company, but still they need to have boundaries. I went to get crafts. Not to be made uncomfortable by the staff. I will never be back.

I’m not a creative person, well in the sense of arts and craft or decorating so Hobby Lobby didn’t have real appeal to me. My wife loves coming here for decorations and my youngest does too especially when working on projects for Science.
We have come here quite often but the last two times have been awesome and it is with some of the new paintings they have. Just before Christmas we shopped here for a few things for people but also came across a Marvel Comics painting that we new our older son would adore. Original price was $ 54.99 but it was half off, come on now you can’t beat that type of bargain. My wife also found some decorations for our house that were 50% off at the time too. And if they are not having a sale, they also have an app you can get on your smart phone and they have a coupon for 40% off an item, this always helps save us money.
The cleanliness of this store great and the customer service is good too, just sometimes it is hard to find a worker to toss a question at them. One major positive is that they always have numerous cash registers open because the lines do build quickly.
Not too shabby even for me, I will be back for some other things, good stuff Hobby Lobby.

This place definitely has everything you could possibly be looking for. Lots of cute home décor. The staff is all a bunch of young adults who clearly hate their job. It’s almost impossible to find help and if you do they probably won’t know where to guide you. The customer service in line as well is reason enough to not go back.

This place is huge!
It reminded me of a cross between Micheal’s for crafts, Winners for home goods and a Target for toys and goodies.
I found a book insert that I was looking for and unexpectedly, several cool bandanas for my pup!
Staff literally dropped what they were doing to help me find something even though I said I was OK and had the time to browse!
This store is all decked out for X-​mas and really had everything from X-​mas home décor, kitchen items, trees, holiday cards, unique decorations and the list goes on and on!
I am not a crafty person per se but I can see myself coming here often enough just for the fun of it all.
You can get an instant coupon for 40% off one regularly priced item by checking out the Hobby Lobby website.

My favorite store, but tonight I went there and found 3 mirrors. The 3^rd one has a big crack and we ask a girl if there’s more. She says it, not bothering to scan or checking the computer and says «umm… no. but we can give u a good deal on the broken one. What is this, a yard sale? They shouldn’t even have a mirror for sale if it’s broken. But I do love this place tho.
Have you ever walked down the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby to check it out? Half the stuff is broken. Who is going to buy broken stuff and put it up on their wall? To me that’s just dumb. Donate it to Goodwill or throw it away. Don’t charge $ 50 instead of $ 100. That clearance aisle always makes me mad every single time. We were going to buy this other thing for Lexi and figured out that both of the horns were broken and that thing was $ 25. I just shake my head half the time.

Hobby lobby is my new arts and crafts spot. So much stuff. If you have pinterest, this spot will fill your shopping needs. Most items go on sale whoch is great and if not, they have coupons online! Im hosting a bridal this weekend and ive done 80% of my shopping here. They even have fabric! Sorry Michaels… my heart belings to Hobby Lobby now.

If you’re into crafts, chances are you’ve made your way into a Hobby Lobby recently.
While Hobby Lobby is larger than most Michaels, I always manage to find myself walking in circles looking for someone to help direct me. When you do find someone to assist you, it’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ that you’ll get the right answer.
There’s so many coupons and sales going it can be frustrating at the register. If you’re well prepared you’ll score big.
If you want multiples of an item, good luck. It seems they never have more than one or two of things set out.

My #1 shopping spot in bakersfield

You can buy fabrics here too, especially tulle! Spacious store & staff are helpful. :) some coupons available online on their website.

Everthing you could possibly imagine for decorating and crafting.
If you sign up with email, you can get constant %40 off coupons which is an added bonus if something is on S.A.L.E!!!

Not really enthusiastic about the store. Everything I requested asked for was out of stock and to be told they get their new arrivals on Monday and today is Wednesda y. The 40% Off coupon was nice and it did work. But I honestly see myself going back to Michael’s rabbit in this place it’s huge and they don’t even have a map of the store to hand out to the customers. But on the upside of this review they have a stupendous amount of stuff on sale from 30% and up! That redeems them by one star.

I gave this place 3 stars for the sweet ladies that work in the jewelry department. They actually seem to like their job. They have the best selection of jewelry and tools– if not for that, id never step foot into this place. The customer service lacks big time.

I’m torn on this place. I love the fact that parking is super easy and they have tons of products for crafting and decorating. However, every time we go here we witness some sort of awkward interaction.
Most recently, we arrived about 15 minutes before closing. The manager literally shut the front door on us and locked us out, then proceeded to tell us that they were closing in 15 minutes, so he’s locking up and we shouldn’t come in unless we can make it quick. We reassured him that we were coming for 2 items and we knew exactly what we wanted, so he told us we could come in the exit doors. We knew where the paint was. Check. Then we start looking for a specialty item and ask 3 different associates before being sent to the right spot. Then we are in line and hear the manager making awkward comments to customers. He just seemed like he was really trying to convey he has all this «power» as the manager. It just made us uncomfortable.

A much better selection of paper then Michaels but they never have the right color of prismacolor markers that I like. Also the fact that they close so early kinda sucks as well as being closed on Sundays

This store is gigantic. For its enormity, the store is quite well organized. There was no clutter, and the store was clean. Staff was helpful. It would taken me a very very long time to find what I was sent to get if I did not have an employees help.
Not really my kind of store, though. I did not know that Hobby Lobby is comparable to a Michael’s or JoAnns store. If I was into arts and crafts, then I would be a fan. Since I am not, I feel they are A-​OK.

It is a glorified fabric store. Is that all one can say? Well, no. Hobby Lobby has all the charm of a costco without the customer service. While it does have large selections, and unique items I cannot secure elsewhere the customer service leaves much to be desired. For example when someone is shopping is that the best time to block aisles removing items to place in storage? I think not.
While not much choice I do not utterly hate Hobby Lobby, but it lacks the personal touch they claim to strive for.

I love everything about Hobby Lobby. Their flower, fabric, baking, crafts, birthday, frame, home/​wall décor, and especially seasonal departments, are amazing. There’s so much to chose from. We’ve picked up so many bday decorations because they are super cute and reasonably priced. The employees have always been nice and helpful. This last time I went, I lost one of my earring studs. (I’m devastated ‚(). The staff was nice and made sure to get my # in case it was found (wishful thinking), nonetheless, it was super nice of them. Other than not having scanners, they are one of my favorite hobbies… :)

This place is amazing and I don’t know what more I can say?
You can get anything and everything for home décor, crafts, hobbies and party décor. It is just a one stop shop. I used to drive to the one in Visalia so when this one came to town I was elated to think no more road trips.
they have amazing sales every week and there is a coupon for 40% off one item too. If you can’t find it here you wouldn’t be able to find it.

Came to check the place out since I’ve heard of Hobby Lobby being on the east coast and it came to Bakersfield out of all places!
Since I’m home for the holidays, drove to where Mervyns used to be and it’s next to Burlington Coat Factory too, good area.
I went inside feeling weird only because I grew up having only Mervyns in that building, now it’s a huge arts and crafts store!
I have to agree with other Unilocalers, the store is like Michael s and Joanns Fabric combined! I got lost easily but i looked around, and the prices seemes decent enough.
I didn’t bother buying anything though, and I couldn’t stand the smell, it seemed like a stronger smell of Home Depot with all that «wood dust» scent but thicker, I felt like I couldve had a asthma attack and there’s no ventilation throughout the store.
the parKing is not bad, considering it’s a hugeb parking lot so there’s always parking for you. However, nothing really caught my attention, maybe I’ll come back if I’m feeling really crafty, but to me this place was just ‘okay’.
