Hobby Lobby

OK,…who doesn’t love this store? How can you not? Especially when items go on sale,.up to 80% off! Fabulous! This store has about everything u need to decorate your home, patio, lawn.etc. Sometimes the prices can be really steep. but where else are you going to find the item you are currently holding in your hands? Lol. Customer service is very friendly, checkout is fast too.

If you are a crafty person and use pinterest, this is the place for you. They have a ton of stuff. It’s a Michael’s, JoAnn’s, and a home décor place in one. It’s really big and has a great selection of things. I can literally spend hours perusing the aisles. A must to visit if youare a DIY-​er!

If Michaels & JoAnn’s had a mormon baby, this would be it. Just on steroids. There are a ton of items from all diff departments ranging from standard arts and crafts to kitchen, to wall décor for your outdoor patio. You name it, and they probably have it.
One knock many people tend to give them (especially coming off a large lawsuit a year or so ago) is that you dont really get to use their coupons because everything is «on sale.» However, the sales usually stay steady and if you’re patient enough they increase in percentage off. (i.e. after christmas items were 40% off or so and after New Year’s went up to 80% off on what was left)
They are also not open on Sundays (again see religious note) and may be inconvenient at times when you need items over the weekend and your only times are on Sunday. Overall, the staff and management are friendly. They do offer discounts to churches/​schools however, the card or check has to be from the actual organization.
I’ve yet to come across an item i cannot find in this store. Solid crafts HL. #hobbylobby

Hobby Lobby is awesome because 95% of the store is always on sale. We got great deals on stuff for our wedding. There is tons of crafty stuff and cute décor for your house. The store is a bit big and can be a little overwhelming. My only pet peeve is the cashiers are slow like it’s their first day. I know it isn’t because I’ve seen them before. Speed it up!

Lots of great looking items but very very very highly overpriced. For an arts and crafts store it is very expensive for this type of genre.

Great place to shop for hobby related things or even for decorative things! They always have an awesome verity to choose from and everything is super cute. They also have good sales! Their staff is very friendly, helpful and professional! One of my favorite places to go shopping!

Horrible customer service. I had to ask 3 different employees where the heavy duty staplers were. Each one pointed me to a different area of this massive store. Never bothered to walk me over to them as they weren’t very busy at the time. After wondering hopelessly around the store for 20 minutes, I left without my stapler. Won’t be back!

Great store that has an amazing selection on pretty much everything. I personally enjoy shopping here for holiday decorations. It honestly seems like there’s always a sale going on so the prices are good. Not expensive but not cheap. With that said no store is required by law to offer a military discount of any sorts so I think it’s unfair to judge a store badly for that. Plus with their constant sales it doesn’t really matter. I highly recommend this store.

Came in to look for photo albums and I was treated rudely by an employee.
I found a spot where there was a few to choose from and was a little disheartened at the variety.
Just to make sure there weren’t any elsewhere in the store, I asked an employee that was stooped down straightening a shelf. I approached her with «excuse me?» And without looking up or stopping what she was doing replied with a very short «yes?» And when I asked her if there were any other albums anywhere in the store she replied with «no, that’s it.» and remained looking down and straightening the shelf.
That’s it? She didn’t even make eye contact with me. Way to make your customers feel like a burden! I left the within the same minute without making a purchase.

This places humongous. They have a great selection of several different items if you can’t find what you’re looking for they could most likely order it for you. They always have specials of different items marked at 50 percent off, if the item you’re looking for is not at 50 percent off when you go it might be the following week as their 50 percent specials change weekly.

This place has everything! Decorations, craft projects and ideas, frames, fabric… and the employees are so much more helpful and friendly than the other crafty places in town!

We travel from Fresno to shop here, great sales and coupons. Huge store so many crafty opportunities just wish it was in Fresno!

First time there and I will be back I am sure. Spent 2 ½ hours and did not see it all but found some fantastic things. Prices are not good unless you get the ½ sales and/​or have a 40% coupon.

We love this place. Lots of craft stuff and really unique décor. The employees have always been friendly and helpful. Some of the stuff we have bought here was made in the USA… that’s a serious bonus for us. We really like to support USA made products whenever we can.
Downfall??? They are closed on Sundays. Really? That’s lame! Why??? I do MOST of my shopping on Sunday… hence the 4 and not 5 stars!
The other thing is that the restrooms stink every time we have went, but I guess that’s par for course, huh? hahahaaha

Ermahgerd! A Hobby Lobby! This store is great! so great i travel here when my local Michael’s does not have what i need. Hobby Lobby is great because of it’s size & variety of offerings. They offer more than Michael’s (at least Hanford’s) — sewing stuff (like fabric!!), home décor, & more. You wouldnt think they offer home décor, but they do, & a very large selection. They also offer the same kind of weekly coupons that Michael’s does. I don’t think the prices are better than other craft stores; they’re pretty much the same, so i dont get that comparison. They just have more stuff.
I will say I am disappointed in their wedding décor selection (uh it’s pretty much non existent). So that’s a star taken off off the bat. I did see some inspiring cool — very in the moment craft projects that are hot now on Pinterest.

Normally I don’t give a bad review on a business, but I was pretty upset when I went here and found out that they DO NOT give any sort of military discount. On top of that, the prices in the place are pretty steep, despite the fact that a lot of the quality of it is good. My suggestion, to anyone who wants to shop here, only go during their sales. Otherwise, don’t bother.

Large selection of home goods, but very few that I would want.

I never knew I could actually get excited about a hobby store. Usually my hopes and interest are crushed as soon as I discover hobby stores generally cater to people with a lot more time and money on their hands. So it was with great pleasure that I was introduced to this gem while visiting family in Tulare.
Hobby Lobby is large and filled with a lot of great products. You’ll find furniture, statues, art supplies, frames, models (the kind you assemble), trinkets, posters and a long list of other assorted items. On my visit everything was 50% off. I had to check if I was drooling when perusing some of the great, high quality goods on sale.
While I wasn’t looking for anything particular, I walked away with a nice and large clock for my kitchen. My fellow shoppers also found what they were looking for and more, which means Hobby Lobby is living up to it’s name!

ZOMG. It’s like Joanne’s on steroids. I think I’m going to live here! They have great 50% off sales all the time! I wish they had more scrapbooking stamps :(I wish they had more of everything! I like the fabric prints they have available, and employee told me that they had one designer who designed things for ALL of the departments, so no matter where you went in the store you could find something that matched.

It hasn’t «officially» opened –or so I overheard a couple days ago – but the place was packed and tons of stuff was on sale. I overheard people saying they thought the prices were better than Michael’s. I am not sure what they were talking about, because I think they are pretty comparable. The one thing that’s notable to me that this has over Michaels is a fabric department.
Tons of stuff is on sale and it’s difficult not to like a place when it’s brand new. There’s a lot of scrapbook stuff (the department I spent the longest time in) but I saw leather tooling supplies, magnets, soap making supplies and what I call ‘dust collectors’ –i.e. crap that just sits around on top of your furniture– by the truckload. Congrats, Visalia. More crafting for you and your little ones is probably a great thing.
