Magic rub and kneaded erasers can also be found here. It is worth the 60 mile drive from Waukesha to get my supplies from last but not least the wonderful and knowledgeable individuals that take care of the customers. Thank you, Cheryl

Cool place down in the basement with a very nice and large selection of all types of art supplies…read more Was a little bit difficult to find because their sign isn't very visible and the double doors to the place are kinda tucked in. You walk in and it's downstairs in the basement of the whole building. So it's a pretty large space. I wish they had a bigger selection of coloring books but I guess it's more a place for actual artists and not so much amateurs that want to practice staying in the lines.

They take the time to work with you and help you pick out all the materials that make each project unique and eye-popping. Highly recommended!

I have political differences with Hobby Lobby, so despite its convenient location to my house, I…read morewould normally never shop here. However, I was stressed out and did not want to drive to Appleton just to buy a coloring book and some pencils (see: stressed out), so I ventured in. The store is HUGE, and has an ugly warehouse feel. They have every kind of craft item you can imagine (and some you can't), as well as a hefty dose of kitschy home decor stuff. The aisles didn't have signs that I could find, so I had to peer down each one to figure out if I was in the right neighborhood. I did find what I was looking for, though I was alarmed to see children playing with merchandise in the next aisle and eventually heard their parents prompting them to "clean up." I didn't realize this was a toy store... The kicker was that, as I approached the register, a cashier was asking her manager if she could leave, despite the fact that she was open and I was standing there with two items. She chuckled to me not to take it personally, haha, etc., but it kind of turned me off. The card reader also didn't work right, and I eventually had to slide my card the opposite way the arrows indicated. So I wouldn't usually come here, and my experience did nothing to change that. So long, Hobby Lobby.

Despite loving arts, crafts, and home decor; hobby lobby is among my top 5 stores w/ worst customer…read moreservice. The managers are rude and don't stick to the cardinal rule of, the customer is always right. Many times I've gone in there and seen % off sale signs on everything, but by the time I get to the counter, they say the items I've brought up are not included. This happened today, 30% off mens metal and wood decor, they had shotgun shell decorative lights directly next to the sign. After bringing the manager back to see that my mom and I weren't lying, she made up some bs excuse that it would also say lights on the sale sign as well. My response was that maybe they should be moved to where all the other decorative lights are, or holiday to avoid more confusion and what I got back was a rude no. Which brings me to my next point, why aren't all these sale in the computer? When you scan an item, at most stores the register will automatically ring it up and the sale price. Not at hobby lobby, the cashiers have to sit with the ad in front of them and go through it by hand to make sure your items qualify to be on sale. Really? In this day and age there should be no reason for confusion on sale items, but instead your left arguing with your cashier or your store manager about a poorly placed sign, because they apparently put items not on sale, by the sale items? Idk, that's what the manager told me and it makes no sense. I will NEVER go back after this last experience, even the cashiers knew we were in the right. Joann fabrics gained another customer, I only wish I could file a formal complaint with corporate. Don't waste your time on their price gimmicks, it's mostly bs to keep you coming back. You're really not saving anything as their sales are perpetual, they should just mark everything down to its proper price instead of trying to fool everyone. You really think, that we think, you've been having a "sale" on wall decor every day since you've opened? You're customers aren't stupid and deserve better then the rude managers that run the place. Not to mention, the store itself has terrible lighting that will give anyone a headache that spends too much time inside. I also don't mind typically the warehouse like feel of some stores, but this store in particular has no order to the chaos. Art stuff in the back corner, fabrics in the other, and everything else might as well have just been randomly shelved by a team of 12 year olds. (At least the 12 year olds would probably be more polite!)
