Hobby Lobby

This place is absolutely awesome & five stars all around.
First off the staff here & at all of the Hobby Lobby’s are always very friendly. If you are looking for holiday decorations or any kind of tables or shelves for a wall or a corner this place is awesome. They have a great selections & some great prices.
I have never seen a store with a better selection of Halloween or Christmas supplies. They also have a great selection of candles & they are reasonably priced. They also have some great posters & framed photos. I stumbled upon an isle which contained a bunch of framed Marvel & Star Wars photo & was impressed at how much awesome stuff they have here.
Anytime I had a question for a staff member they wouldn’t just point me to an isle they would walk me right to them item I was looking for. The place is always very clean too & so it the restroom.
Overall the staff here is very friendly & the prices along with the selection is very good. This is my go to holiday store & I would definitely come here again.

Lately I’ve been going to Hobby Lobby in Elgin because, though not the closest one to me, I was more likely to be near that one than any other Hobby Lobby. Now that this Bloomingdale location has opened though I have another great location to go to! It just opened recently where the old Sports Authority used to be on Gary Avenue in Bloomingdale (across from Stratford Square Mall, near Lifetime Fitness, PetSmart, and Meijer for a location placer), so of course it is in tip-​top order and quite clean (though they could use some new flower pots in front).
Like any other Hobby Lobby, prices were about the same and there are constantly all sorts of sales going on. Lately I’ve been going in for yarn for a blanket I’m crocheting so I always use their 40% off coupon which makes it affordable for me ($ 3.87 a roll with coupon and tax at this location vs. the $ 6.48 it would be without the coupon). Hobby Lobby seriously seems to carry everything craft related: yarn, glass, fabric, needles, silly holiday decorations, fake flowers, paints, beads, and tons more!
As I mentioned above, the store was well organized, smelled fresh, clean, and well stocked. I hope they keep that up as it gets some time under its belt. The employees that I encountered seemed pleasant. The woman who rung me up (I told myself not to forget her name and I have, I think it may’ve been Lauren…) was kind, asked me if I had found everything alright or had questions, smiley, no complaints. I love new credit card key pad things, no issues sliding cards, hitting buttons, or anything!
Can’t wait to go back, though. Didn’t have much spare time to look around too too much at this location, but my mother (who had never gone to a Hobby Lobby before) was floored by the amount of neat merchandise there so she wants to go back for a look. Maybe see you next week, Hobby Lobby of Bloomingdale! Had 3 registers open so that was nice, didn’t have to wait long.
