Hobby Lobby

I recently purchased silk flowers. On the way to the car one fell out of the bag.
Called the store and spoke to the manager when I got home because I found it missing; was told a Good Samaritan returned it. Told the manager I would be in on the following Monday to pick it up. They LOST IT! I wasn’t even given the opportunity to get one from stock even though they all knew the situation.
Moral of this story … if you want to do something nice at Hobby Lobby, don’t. The employees are too busy putting band aids on their knuckles to pay attention to a good deed.

Can you believe they don’t carry Chanukah decorations because they’re anti-​Semitic? I won’t be going here ever again! Michael’s it is.

This location has the best overall organization of the stores we’ve visited making it a 5 star.
Their selection of crafts, specialized décor (Star Wars, Ford, Chevy, etc) make it a go-​to spot for fixing up that ManCave. It’s not all fru-​fru here.
Store staff were helpful and friendly in helping us find a few things. How they know where everything is makes it a mystery to me.
Bottom Line: If you looking for a craft project, room makeover, or just something fun to put on the walls, Hobby Lobby is the place to find it. We’ll be back!

I kind of view Hobby Lobby as an unwanted necessity. I like to do crafts so I sometimes need to actually go into the store to find what I need. I hate that Hobby Lobby’s aisles aren’t marked and unless you live there or are lucky enough to locate a store associate, you have to walk aimlessly up and down to find what you need. This was my first time to this particular location and it was all but impossible to find someone to direct me where to go. When I did find someone they were pretty put off by having to help me. I got a similar reception at the check out counter. I completely understand being miserable about working at Hobby Lobby especially around the holidays but it’s your job so at least make an attempt at being courteous!

A Christian company??? I’ve seen hobby lobby all over the news for their Christian beliefs being violated… YET the store in Plano on 15^th & Alma will not allow members of the Catholic Church across the street to use their parking on a SUNDAY! Seriously… Somebody needs to practice what they preach!

This is by far my favorite Hobby Lobby. Forgive me, but I never saw myself as the crafts type until I walked in. It’s ART and DECOR and SEASONAL treasures. Discovered that my passion was framing large specialty vintage posters from Ebay and they make it so easy. 50% off frames every other week and a spectacular variety of framing supplies.
I enjoy the friendly, accommodating and welcoming staff. Yes they are not overly staffed but this store is perfectly well organized which invites you to relax and buy things that other stores sell, but at much lower prices. Like tape, Christmas supplies and really nice glass-​work.
Much appreciated is the variety of art-​deco and art-​nouveau items. And I did not spy a single kitten calendar!
Parking is abundant and the air conditioning blows cold here!
(I am going to buy my nieces feather boas even though they are older now because they have such a festive variety)
They also offer an Android and IOS application you can download that automatically gives you 40% off of one item for every visit. That is in ADDITION to the weekly specials!
Finally — I love a Christian based and family owned organization that does not discriminate and respects everyone’s personal preferences.

Love this place, I could spend hours here getting ideas about how to decorate my house. I like going in and seeing all of the new items in store and finding out what is on sale. If you find something you really want and don’t want to pay full price just get on their mailing list. They send coupons all the time.

It’s a craft lover’s paradise!
Whenever I can’t find a particular item at another craft store, Hobby Lobby will usually carry it.
It is a bit pricier than their competitor, but they will accept a mobile coupon from your phone (look for their 40% off a single, regular priced item).
I do like their wider selection of merchandise. Just yesterday, I wandered in to look at project boards and was tickled that they carried them in an array of different colors!
If getting card stock, wait for their 50% off card stock sales. They usually run those quite often.
If you like to bake gifts for friends, I’d recommend stopping in here. Their packaging for baked items are quite affordable and they have more variety and sizes to choose from than other places.

Misleading sales! This past week they had a huge 50% sale so I decided to take advantage. Giant signs state «50% off candles and candleholders» at one aisle end cap, yet when I checked out, nothing I had qualified for the discount. Cashier said «candle holders go on sale separately than the candles» yet the sign clearly said candleholders. In addition, they made 7 announcements all within a 30 minute span stating that the store would be closing. I’m not kidding, one at every 5 minute interval starting at 6:20 up until I left. I won’t be returning, at least not to this particular Hobby Lobby.

As i said before…“I do like a good Hobby Lobby. The olds and crafty tend to flock here in droves.”
They offer many many fake flowers, painting stuff, frames, material, small wood works, puzzles, yarns, home décor, and small tables/​cabinets. I find a lot of fun things here and usually a good sale going on.
The staff in this particular place were friendly and helpful. The shop itself was really clean and tidy.

what makes this one stand out among the Hobby Lobby brand, well I would say the overall cleanliness and organization of the store makes it a 5 star. The quality of product + service + value add of walking in and finding what you need right away.
Great location for crafts, home décor, etc.

Excellent selection of flower supplies seasonal decorations, fun science kits, model cars/​planes, and art/​craft supplies (specialty drawing pencils, etc.)
Great selection of yarn.
So-​so selection of fabric.
Get the app and always check out with a coupon.
Returns are easy.
Sometimes there is a check-​out line wait.

I have never had a good experience at this Hobby Lobby which is unfortunate because this is the closest location to my house. Every time I have encountered rude, hurried employees. Last night’s experience was it for me. I will drive to another Hobby Lobby or go across the street to Michael’s where they have always been friendly to me. Even my ten year old daughter mentioned how rude the elderly lady was that checked me out last night. Never coming to this store again.

The staff at this location is wonderful; so friendly and accommodating. I needed to return some items that I purchased in Louisiana that were not available in their store. The cashier did not hesitate and allowed me to return all my items.
Hobby Lobby on Preston and Beltline flat out refused and treated me like I was worthless for suggesting such a thing (even though I had my receipt). I very much dislike that location and will go to Plano store whenever possible.
Thank you Plano employees for making my drive to your location worth it!!!

This store proves that everything really is bigger in Texas.
I’ve been frequently this location quite a few times this past week to collect some materials for some DIY wedding crafts. Thankfully, there’s been a 40% off coupon that I’ve been able to use for everything, which allows their prices to be very reasonable. If you have a smartphone, you can check for this coupon on their website and they only need you to show it to them so you don’t have to go through the hassle of printing it out.
I’ve been to the Michael’s across the street and it just can’t compare. So much stuff here!

Shopping here is quite the pain for me. I don’t go here very often, but sometimes the 40% off coupon draws me to grab a couple of items for my design classes. The fact that they don’t label their aisles is incredibly troublesome. This problem is compounded by the fact that store personnel are nearly impossible to find, and the few times I HAVE managed to find somebody to help me, they neither seem very eager to help nor very able to. I’ve on a few occasions been led around by a meandering employee who seemed pretty unsure about where anything was. Shopping here always seems unnecessarily drawn out and difficult. I only come here if Michael’s across the street doesn’t have what I’m looking for.

How do you beat this place? Enough said.

I will have to echo Brandi’s review. When Hobby Lobby has sales, you can score really good deals. 40%, 50% seems not a rare thing at Hobby Lobby.
Selection is pretty large, although they carry much more than just arts and crafts (like outdoor goods, random housewares, almost like a Garden Ridge).
I think it’s pretty obvious that this is a Christian store or at least Christian owned. There are Christian-​themed things all over the store, and it’s closed on Sunday. Being a Christian myself this isn’t a problem at all, except for the fact that they pipe in some crappy Christian music over their PA system. 1-​star DEMERIT!

I love me some Hobby Lobby. I am like an addict, and I keep coming back from more. Hobby Lobby gets a stupid amount of my hard earned money. I think overall their selection is good, their prices are decent, and the staff is usually pleasant. I’ve run into a couple of less than happy employees, but I’d say the ratio is about 85% helpful/​nice employees and 15% grumpy/​not helpful employees. The best thing is you can find some killer deals while Hobby Lobby is having sales, which is pretty much all the time. So, if the item you want isn’t on sale that week, wait a week or two and it probably will be on sale. Hobby Lobby has something that appeals to pretty much everybody! I will say one of the biggest bummers is the fact they are closed on Sunday. I always forget and then I get irritated when I drive out there and they’re closed. So, don’t try to go on a Sunday!
