Hobby Lobby is well ... Hobby Lobby. If you know you know. If you don't I will explain. Hobby Lobby's the world over have got to be some of the most consistent places known to mankind. It's downright eerie. Every Hobby Lobby is staffed with the same identical employees. I don't have any hard proof yet,but I suspect that they are cloned from the five original employees being kept cryogenically frozen in a secrete warehouse somewhere deep in the Nevada desert, before being shipped out to their stores. Each location has the same bunch of overflowing aisles, overwhelming the senses with excited women and teenagers desperately searching for that special something. If they can't find that something special they'll just settle for anything, because by entering a Hobby Lobby they've already agreed to the unspoken rule requiring they buy something while their tag along husbands and boyfriends wear the same bored or exasperated looks. Hobby Lobby will have what you need if you go there. Because if you think you need something from Hobby Lobby then you already know they will have it. There just isn't any point in comparing this H.L. to any other Hobby Lobby because they are ALL identical, in each and every way: wonderful, packed with people and merch, and guaranteed to be wherever you need one. read more

POOR SERVICE. Be prepared to wait in line like Costco. No excuse. OPEN UP THE CHECK OUT LINES! No thanks we'll go elsewhere. Note: this was not a one time event, it's regular. read more

Currently waiting in line. Even longer and slower than last week when I was here. I will go to Micheals next time.

The ladies at the cash register are all really sweet and want to be very helpful. If you are getting fabric cut, be prepared to work with somebody who has no knowledge of fabric whatsoever, not saying they are not nice people just saying they struggled with cutting fabric. The store was VERY low in some stock, showing that the 'presidents'' tariffs are hitting the USA now. read more

I went to my very first Hobby Lobby store in Grand Junction, Colorado many years ago and have been a fan ever since! I am glad to have discovered stores here in Arizona. While living I. Ahwatukee the past four years, I frequented that location, & now, I live in Apache Junction & this location is only a few miles from my house. I LOVE this store & all it has to offer! I have bought many amazing items here & the customer service is top notch! Very helpful & accommodating staff here. They have a smile & a great attitude. Also, I love how this store always has discounts, making things very affordable for the customers. Thank you Hobby Lobby for always being my go-to for things to decorate my house with, got awesome seasonal items, & for OUTSTANDING customer service! read more

It's so frustrating as there are always 20 people in line to check out and 2 -3 staff just walking around up front doing nothing. It's like can't someone see all the frustrated customers? read more

I go out of my way to visit the store on Southern Avenue and Signal Butte in Apache Junction. The framing department has the best customer service of any Hobby Lobby I've been to in the Phoenix area. I recently worked with Marlene, who helped me with two watercolor paintings I had matted. One of the pictures did not look right with the matting I selected and she very graciously offered to re-do it and make it look right. She was so pleasant to work with and "made by day" when she said she "wanted to please the customer"!! You can't go wrong when doing business with this Hobby Lobby store and their framing department. I am pleased to recommend them. read more

Stopped by this location yesterday to pick up a few items. Sadly, they are not open on Sundays - I found this out the hard way! I returned today (Monday 1/6/20), and had a very good experience! What I needed was not only in stock, it was on sale! Cha, Ching! The registers were very busy, and the lines were long. Fortunately, a spot opened up pretty quickly, so I was able to check out fast! The only negative was that one of the items I intended on purchasing was not priced, and the manager was unable to find a price for it. I guess they don't use a barcode system? They were very apologetic an I felt bad for the lady stuck behind me - oh, well! Despite the hiccup, it was a good retail experience, and I'll be back for sure! read more

Coming to Hobby Lobby is usually a fun shopping trip and experience! Until today....I cannot believe the terrible experience we had at this store. Everything was fine until checkout. We had an entire cart full of things and we headed to the checkout. There was one single line and only a few people ahead of us. There were about 4 checkers. We literally stood in line for 30 minutes waiting for the customer ahead of us to complete a transaction at the register! They had 2 carts full of items and the checker was moving at snail pace, creating a mega long line! The Hobby Lobby employee, Mary, should NOT under any circumstances be working the register! She moved slower than molasses. It was sloth speed! I've never seen this in real life, until today. She picked up each item, entered the price, and then proceeded to wrap each item at sloth speed. We stood behind this scene and couldn't believe what we were witnessing. What started as one long line, soon broke off into 4 separate lines. Even though we were next in line, not one checker called us over into a new line. There were no signs indicating where the line or lines began. There were multiple very pushy and aggressive customers who were cutting in front of people, complaining, blocking others with their carts, and screaming/crying children in the lines. There we stood for 30 minutes waiting to get to the counter to just pay and leave! Hobby Lobby needs to train employees on how to properly break up a long line. You always call the next person in line. So here, people who just got into the line and were in the back of the line, ended up getting to checkout right away at other registers, meanwhile we were stuck waiting on Mary to figure out what the heck she was doing for 30 minutes. Unlike Mary, we have things to do and not stand in line all day! Other Hobby Lobby employees working the registers just allowed grown adults to cut the lines, and act like children at the checkout. Unbelievable! Will think twice before shopping here again! read more

Very long check out line -7 people, they finally called for a back-up, who took the last people in line. Frustrating but ok. More customers, they called another cashier who did the same! One woman pointed out that people were being passed over as 'next customer', front end manager did Nothing and let her walk out. When she called for another cashier who Finally said she'd help next in line, I said how about all of us in the original line?! Turns out she was the store manager. No apology and just annoyed. Crappy attitude on top of that. It's funny, they don't have a link to do a survey on their receipts like many large stores... no surprise. Employees in fabrics were upset and saying that no one could take their break yet which put them in a less than pleasant mood. Sounds like no one is happy there and it shows. Won't return to this store-the one on Greenfield & 60 is much better experience. Steer clear. read more

After moving into a new home I was introduced to Hobby Lobby I've never been into this store until the other day and I have to honestly say this store is the best place to shop. They have all kinds of home decorations and art supplies that you can't find in your average store. We purchased tons of country themed decorations for our living room and the wonderful smells of potpourri will keep you in here shopping for hours. read more

Custom Framing at Hobby Lobby Peggy has framed 3 pieces of art for us. Recently she helped us with custom framing a large jigsaw puzzle of "The Lord's Supper" the puzzle is 70+ years old and is quite brittle. Peggy suggested using museum glass that provides UV protection. It looks awesome. It has become an instant family heirloom. read more

I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY! They really have pretty much anything you need for any craft you would even hope to begin. Plus the sales and coupons aren't too shabby. I bought a bunch of cardmaking stuff while I was there. The store is always clean and organized in my opinion, I haven't ever had a problem with an employee, so all around great for me read more

Was just in the store and found a framed picture that was in the isle that had the signs that says the pictures were marked down 40% clearly. The cashier and manager said it wasn't on sale so I told them I would take them back and show them whether it was at and that the sign says it's on sale and they refused to go look with me. Pretty poor customer service and false advertising. I don't think they are even going to go back to check or change the pictures if they were marked wrong. Really not fair to the customers at all! Needless to say I didn't purchase the picture. Hopefully this distant happen often! If it fits I will ship at the home store, Michaels, or @home from this point on! read more

This review is for corporate, not necessarily this store. Super disappointed that you took away coupons. I may have to reconsider my craft store of choice. read more

*Customer Service 1/2 Stars, Nothing special here at all. They have plenty of employees walking around but not a single one asked if we needed help with anything. I even stood next to an employee that was restocking in the isle I was needed to be in for over five minutes. The only reason I'm giving this a one star is because the lady at the register was nice. *Experience 1/1 Star, this hobby lobby is a nice one and I can't complain here. *Shopping 1/1 Star, Have a huge selection of things you may need from home decor to crafting and among other things as well. Don't seem to be out of stock on items as well. *Would I Recommend 1/1 Star, would recommend for the fact that they have a huge selection of stuff. Especially if you enjoy arts and crafts. read more

Had faux plant fall on my head, was bleeding quite a bit . No one brought me anything to help stop it they just made me sign a paper so they wouldn't get sued and then pointed me toward the bathroom. read more

Bought a mirror here today priced at $169.99. Got home and looked on the Hobby Lobby website and it was priced at $139 (exact same skew number and everything) Store would not honor the price from their own website. When I asked the employee her response was "I don't know I've never really figured that out" ?!?! Don't shop here and if you do check online first. Will be returning the mirror asap. read more

Low key personnel, but they are helpful if you ask them for help. I enjoy going here, always a great experience.

I needed some Ribbon and went to this Location which is pretty close to where I live and found exactly what I needed. I ended up walking around the store and found a couple of things priced really well. If I had anything to do with this store, I would not have employees siting on the floor working as they are blocking the aisle and also, customer service throughout the store is not very friendly. The store is stocked very well, but employees don't seem happy to be there. Oh well, thank God I don't have to work there, I can go in, buy what I need and leave. I do like that they are closed on Sundays for their employees to share Sunday with their families and /or Religious beliefs. read more

One of the better Hobby Lobby locations. We were in & out & the cashiers were fast & friendly (something we don't have at our regular location). Inventory did not satisfy our needs, but have come to expect that at all Hobby Lobby locations. read more

If you love crafts and art then this is the place for you! They have EVERYTHING you can think of and everything you don't know about. LOL! For a non-crafty person, this place can be overwhelming at times. I was here to kill time before dinner. =) read more

These five stars are given to Olivia. Olivia understands what customer service means, she was absolutely wonderful in helping me and my wife find find our accessories for our home. Even though we felt as though she was being used as a "go for" from her teammates at the store, we really appreciate her assistance. Thank you Olivia. read more

I love everything about this place! Wonderful decorating and gift ideas, as well as all your crafting needs.

I had a return and couldn't find my mask so I used a tissue, it covered my mouth and nose and I held it in place, so there was no one at the return counter so I said I have a return where should I go? Well Vicki W was cleaning baskets in the not sanitized area, she said she would take me at register 4. Vicky didn't say hi or look at me, then said I don't have another penny! So I said will then you will have to get one, because we all play the game. In all my years of visiting Hobby Lobby I have never met someone so rude and unfriendly. Vicky time for a new job!! But I must say I laughed all the way to the car because she was so upset that I wanted my penny!! read more

There is a mask requirement posted as you enter but I entered with someone not wearing one. When I brought it to their attention they ignored me but stated "yes, they are required". So I guess they're required unless you don't want to. The lady went on to be waited on at the register in front of me. read more

Great place to buy crafts! Always download their coupon before buying anything though, then it's normal price.

What can I find wrong with Hobby lobby? Maybe the parking at this particular location! That's about it! Love the deep discounts - especially with the Holiday items right now. Love the cleanliness of the store. Wish there were less lines though, maybe open some more up would be a great idea. read more

I have bought two Christmas trees there that broke within a year. The trees are supposed to have a three year warranty but that's not honored at all. My prelit tree stopped working on the bottom. They told me over the phone to bring the tree in and they would take care of it. So I loaded it up and drove it to the store and suddenly it's a different story. I drag that tree in there and they offer to give me 10% of what I paid for it or give me a few strands of lights. I was so upset I left in tears. read more

Clean, helpful people, my daughter likes to paint and loves their selection.

Very clean, well organized and well stocked store. Employees and management are all very friendly and willing to help. Love going to Hobby Lobby at this location read more

This is the slowest operation in town. Update your check out system to scanners and it would be much quicker. This is why I don't shop here very often, just takes too long. read more

I came in looking for DIY wedding invitations. The store was staffed appropriately, but no one would help me. When I did find what I was looking for, I was disappointed with the selection. I asked a girl who worked there if those were the only bridal invitations in the store, and without even turning around she just said no. That was rude, so I turned around to leave. The manager was standing by the door, and didn't even greet, or exit greet anyone coming in or leaving. I'll take my business to Michael's. read more

So my mom is a fan of this store, and has turned my sister and I on to it. Cute store with some great items. They have quite a selection and have great seasonal items to boot. The craft section is quite large. My dtr. found some cute flamingos for me from here, and my sis got some cute items for her house.Try it you won't be disappointed.The prices run the gamut so there is something for every budget. read more

I am addicted to hobby lobby. I could literally spend all my money here. They have the best selection of any craft materials you could need and great sales read more

I frequent this location a lot, its down the road from my home! I love the decor they offer, pretty knick knacks, great for seasonal decor items, and all the crafting needs. It is more than a craft store, and worth a tour! read more

Every time I walk in Hobby Lobby I think I need to take up at least 10 more hobbies and redecorate my house. When I was in this store last week even the clearance section was neat and tidy. I like how whenever I have a question, the person stocking that type of item seems to be a crafter or artist who uses those things and has something helpful to say. If you sign up for their emails, every week you get seven 40% off coupons good until that Saturday. read more

A really good source for scrapbooking supplies.

I live by this particular Hobby Lobby, close enough to walk to. Every time we go there, it is dirty, and the employees are the rudest I have ever seen. You are never charged the same price for an item! For example I went one day bought a reusable bag, one that you can take to get your groceries in or whatever, I just don't like plastic bags, so anyway I was charged half price one day, went back on payday for 10 more, and cashier wouldn't give me half price, when I showed her my receipt from two days before, she said well I am just entering the numbers that is all I can do. So I left and did not buy them, SO I had to go back that following Monday for something else, and I grabbed a few bags and asked a cashier if they were included in the 50% off sale she said YES.. WTH! Dan the manager is the rudest person ever! Store in dirty, staff rude, inexperienced. read more
