When visiting the Central Virginia area visiting family awhile back so I thought I’d try Hobby Lobby and found them to be a fairly nice store and well stocked. So when I went back to home in CA it was then when I found out they don’t give discounts to military, seniors, teachers or students although Michaels, JoAnn’s and AC Moore not only takes Hobby Lobby coupons but also gives the discounts to those listed(military, seniors, students, teachers). Hobby Lobby will ONLY use their own coupons but the other stores all accept each others coupons including Hobby Lobby’s. Prices average, good selection and staff decent. When they change the policies, then I’ll start spending my money there again. There’s plenty of other hobby stores to go to in the area but this one I won’t be.

I love Hobby Lobby :) They always have weekly specials featuring items that are 30−40% off, and they have a big clearance section on the back left side of the store. The staff is friendly and helpful but not in-your-face. They also accept their online coupon for 40% off one item(however, this doesn’t include items that are already on sale). People talk about Hobby Lobby being more expensive, but really, I shop at Michaels and AC Moore too… And Hobby Lobby is just as affordable if you scope out the sales. Besides, their selection is far superior to other craft stores.

Everything in this place is more expensive then most other places that are comparable. But they also sell a few things I can’t find in other craft stores. Today I spent a lot of time searching several employees hurried past. Finally I stopped one. She wasn’t able to help but walked me to the end of an isle pointed out a man in a white shirt and tie. He watched as she pointed him out. I walked over to him said hi. And he walked away. They can keep their over priced items and bad attitudes. Too many other places to shop that appreciate their customers.

I like looking around the store, there is a large selection here for sure, only good for sales… I generally go elsewhere to get crafting supplies and things of that nature. This store is way overpriced in my opinion, especially the very low quality furniture.

I love this place. I come here almost every time I’m in Central Park. Very large store with an even larger variety and selection of products. I also love that they aren’t expensive and are right next to my two other favorite stores. I haven’t really had to interact with many employees here but the cashiers I have checked out with have been very nice. I prefer this store to michaels any day of the week.

Hobby Lobby never ceases to amaze me. I always find really great products that I feel I must have. If you go in there looking for one thing, chances are you’ll walk out with a few other finds. Definitely check out the custom framing.

the store is ok. Their anti-women policy sucks.

Absolutely love this place. I can always find what I need for the home or for whatever my project or craft project for the moment is. This is the closet Hobby Lobby to us. I drive 40 plus miles to get there but its so worth it every time.

So far, so good with this store. The sales circulate weekly and it seems that if a certain thing isn’t on sale one week, it will usually be on the next. Although I find myself driving toward Hobby Lobby on a Sunday, I like that they are closed on Sundays to allow their employees time with family. That says a lot about a company too me. The location is perfect. I have not had a problem with this place. I enjoy shopping here.

Think Michaels or A.C. Moore’s. If you’ve been to either of those, then you know what Hobby Lobby is about. I was hoping for something different, something truly unique, but it’s just your«typical» box store.

I love how there is always different stuff there but it’s a little confusing to figure out how to get around. There is always things on sale. I think that their check out is a little confusing because they have just small little signs that say open but you can’t tell until you are on top of them.

While I would much prefer to shop at smaller/locally owned craft stores, there just are not that many to go to these days. Hobby lobby is a big chain, but has a great selection of scrap booking paraphernalia –especially in their rubber stamp selection. Good variety to be found here and the prices are reasonable and the sales are great. I go just to browse every time I am in central park in the ‘burg and usually come out with some great finds!

Of all of the places that I have looked for models in this area, this place is the only one that has them! From trains to cars and ships and trucks, this place has a lot of different models for anything you may want to build. They also carry an assortment of glues, paint and even professional grade air paint guns. I recommend this place to anyone who wishes to build a model.
