Hobby Lobby

They have some great pieces for decorating but the customer service is poor!!! Staff is not helpful, slow & lazy…

I was stoked that there was finally a Hobby Lobby opening in South Florida, but after a few visits, I’m over it. Even more over it now that Kendall has one too, and I personally like it better there.
This location is a cellular dead zone. No service. So if you have a Pinterest idea for a project, save the photos/​screenshots before coming inside or you WILL be frustrated.
Parking is terrible. Every lane is a one way, and because of the new Whole Foods, it gets super packed. The lot is designed in a way that you would have to circle the entire parameter of the lot to finally get out. When you’re there, you’ll see what I mean. On top of that, there can be TRAFFIC getting out because the exit is a light, so do expect a pile-​up. So much pedestrian traffic as well — so many people walking from Whole Foods and back, IN FRONT of the only path to get out. So do not come here if you’re on time constraint.
It is organized inside, I’l give them that. And it helps to have the Hobby Lobby app for the coupons. I guess I’m content that Broward has a Hobby Lobby though.

Hobby Lobby is a store that can easily suck me in and not spit me back out for hours. I’m not crafty. I don’t sew. I can’t build stuff. I can’t draw or paint. Yet, somehow I’m fascinated by all the things I could do if I were any of those things.
Today, I was here to buy a frame for a painting. I knew from shopping around that Hobby Lobby was way cheaper than Michael’s for open backed frames. I don’t know if that’s true for custom framing, or if the quality is similar. They had about 20 different frames for me to choose from for the size I needed. I got what I wanted and was happy.
I waited in line at the register for about 5 minutes. The clerk was polite and friendly.
Here’s the thing. The location of this store stinks if that is the only place you want to go. It’s next to the new Whole Foods and across from the Tower Shops and Costco. Traffic is horrendous and the parking lot is a zoo. I went here on a Tuesday morning while on vacation just to minimize the hassle. I would never, ever, ever go here on the weekend, at lunchtime, or right after work.

I’ve been shopping at Hobby Lobby for practically forever. However when I moved here there weren’t any locations around me, so when this location opened last year, it was pretty exciting to have a decent craft store again. The store is located in a fairly busy little strip center with a Whole Foods and a Bed Bath and Beyond in the same complex.
When I walked into the store the first time, it was kind of a ghost town with a couple women up front at the registers chatting and no customers around. Since I’ve now been here a few times it does seem like business has picked up a little which is good for the store. I got some great deals on fake flowers which on sale were priced at $ 1/​ea., and you can always check what’s on sale through the smartphone app. They also have a coupon in the app for 40% off a regular priced item. I don’t know if the coupon changes but Hobby Lobby does seem to update the weekly deals.
As much as I don’t agree with the political views and stance on benefits that Hobby Lobby has voiced, I do shop here because they are usually priced lower on things like framing, fake flowers, and yarn compared to Michael’s and JoAnn’s.

Hobby Lobby is not what it used to be. At least this one isn’t like the ones we used to go.
First of all, when you walk in, the store is a mess. The floors are dirty and the shelves are in chaos. The people have not been very helpful, either.
I used to love to go here, to find all sorts of things, but after a few trips to this one, I’ve been disappointed every time. I keep finding rows of empty shelves and lots of damaged items. The only area that has much selection is the yarns. Luckily that’s what I went for.
As far as the prices, they are about average, but not worth driving to Davie.
They need to clean up, organize and give their employees some lessons on how to treat customers. Today, we had to wait in line for an extra 5 min. or so, while the clerk had a personal chat with the woman in front of us. That’s just not an acceptable way to do business.

Happy to have this store in the neighborhood. Let me start by saying I am not a crafty person at all. With this store you do not have to be. They have so many great items throughout this very large store. It is very clean, well organized and literally you can spend quite a bit of time browsing through the aisles.
We have been here several times now and on our last visit we specifically went in to check out the silk flowers and picture frames. You can’t beat their prices on frames. From very conservative gold and wood frames to my modern black, silver, mirrored, and bling frames. All of their frames are half priced from original sticker price. Score we found exactly what we needed.
The silk flower section is lovely with many different options. I also purchased a large wind chime for my patio and I love it. They have many unique items for the house or backyard. I laughed while shopping with my daughter because I was looking for wine related items… well duh the closest thing you will find here are fake grape clusters. They are a religious based store so no wine related items, LOL.
Their seasonal selection part of the store is awesome. Right now they are prepared for Memorial Day and they have some great stuff. This store is also great for picking up gifts because you can find some unique fun items here.
Service has been good everytime we have shopped here. I find the prices to be very reasonable. Happy to have this store close by.

I really dislike this store. Living just a few minuets away, and being somewhat crafty, I should frequent the Hobby Lobby much more. The problem for me is the unfriendly staff here. Cashiers are unfriendly and slow and just generally seem to not know what they are doing. Lines are long and checkout is long and unbearable.
I’ve heard SO much about the Hobby Lobby stores and the amazing selection and prices, which is all true, I hate to say. But because of the staff here, I tend to avoid this location which means the Hobby Lobby altogether since there are none others in our area.

Incredible store for crafty people! Always full of seasonal décor that I cannot resist. Unique florals, beautiful wreaths and tons of home décor items as well! I brought my other half here and while usually at Michaels he’s pacing around bored, he spent some time looking at all of the model kits and «guy stuff» they sell here. Great store for everyone.
Also, if you pull up the 40% off coupon from the website on your phone, they will honor it at the register.

This store is amazing! I can’t believe it took me so long to visit it. Imagine a Joann fabrics and Michaels store combined and then put on steroids.
There is a huge selection of seasonal items to decorate your home. There are items that are ready to be put on display and others you can use to make something to display.
The staff is friendly and willing to help you find stuff. You can get a 40% off coupon from their webpage and sign up for emails. Only one coupon per visit allowed.
There is a large selection of fabrics, picture frames (all 50% off), paints, educational supplies, etc. They also do custom framing.
There is a large attached parking lot. Right off of 595 and University Drive.

Just left the place empty handed and disappointed! This place is obviously not teachers friendly. I work as the art teacher at St. John The Apostle Catholic School and came here to get art supplies for my classroom. The money was donated funds from a group of people that I was able to gather via Facebook. They donated their money out of love so these kids get some decent art lessons when they didn’t have art classes at all in previous years. Well, when I told the lady at the cashier that I was planning to use the tax ID # she later told me I needed the «form.» First store asking for this. I called the principal and was willing to send me a copy of it through text but this lady said it was only permitted to get the copy thru fax. Fine. BUT THEN PROCEEDED TO SAY THEY DIDNT HAVE A FAX MACHINE IN STORE ANYWAY. I asked about a teacher’s discount and she told me that only with the school credit card I could get the discount. ARE YOU SERIOUS? These are DONATED items/​money! The only store that had so many stupid policies and the only one that won’t take the tax ID number (Michael’s, dollar store, office depot had accepted this number w/​o a «form») and didn’t give a teacher the education discount (even tho I showed my pay stub) because I didn’t have the school credit card!!!
If I could give ZERO stars I would.
BTW, all of this happened after I spent over 3 hours gathering these art supplies for the kids.

If there was a heaven or theme park for crafters you have definitely reached it. I’ve never been into this chain store before so the first time I stepped into this store I was quite overwhelmed. I believe this was the first store that opened in the South Florida area. This store is located where the old Kmart store was and next to the soon to be Whole Foods Market.
This store by far more organized and the staff more helpful than all others. They offer coupons as well. But do not accept competitor coupons. Therefor I still go to Michaels across the way at the Tower Shops. Be prepared to spend some time in here. There aren’t opened on Sunday by the way.

I’ve read about Hobby Lobby and their business practices in the news lately. I’ve also read reviews that it’s amazing, so I had to stop in and see what all the fuss was about. My take: it’s a Christmas Palace, Michaels, Party City, and Dollar Store all in one.
Tons of Thanksgiving/​fall items on sale now. The Christmas display is huge but their prices on trees etc. seemed high. I like a good bargain and you may find it cheaper elsewhere.
This is the kind of store where you need to be a smart consumer if you want to get a good deal. However, it’s a good place to wander and kill time especially if you’re making something and/​or hosting a party.

If there was heaven for crafters (no pun intended seeing as the owners of this chain are religious) Hobby Lobby is it. It basically takes Michaels, Joann fabrics, pier 1, and party city and mushes them into 1 store. It’s unreal. The first time you go in there-​bring a friend, a few hundred bucks, and be prepared to spend some time.
They aren’t open on Sunday and close earlier than most retail stores which is nice for their employees. The customer service is FANTASTIC. I had lost a receipt and was issued store credit for full retail no problem. Sometimes you’re given the lowest selling price in the past 45 days in this scenario.
The selection of product is out of this world. No matter what your poison-​scrap booking, quilts, jewelry, cakes. It’s all there and they run sales and coupons very frequently. I think there is a frequent buyer club you can sign up for.
Only rarely will I hop over to michaels now (they do have more washi) or party city. This place is massive and a few times I’ve been bored and go in «just to look»…that gets dangerous. So is the fact that this place is 0.7 miles from my house :)

The staff are all extremely friendly. The store is huge, and has crafts for any kind of idea you could think of. I’m big into scrapbooking, and their selection was one of the biggest I have ever seen. Along with this, they had one of their own brands on sale 50% for everything, and all the products were amazing. I would honestly shop here from now on instead of the Micheals across the street.
