    Light Scratch

    I've been a loyal Hobby Lobby customer for years, but my experience at the Temecula-Palm Plaza location last night was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. I urgently needed a specific console table (SKU #1537612) for an event the next day. After calling the Hemet store and learning they didn't have it in stock, I called the Temecula store and was told it was available. My husband and I drove 30 minutes out of our way specifically to purchase it. When we arrived, we inspected all the available consoles in the back furniture section and found multiple issues: one had slashes on a leg, one had a chip on the top, and another had visible paint marks. The only console in acceptable condition was a floor display near the front--even that one only had a minor scratch that my husband could easily repair. The display also had a price tag on it, and there was no signage indicating it was "display only." Naturally, we asked an employee if we could purchase the display model at a modest discount. The employee checked with the manager and returned saying the manager refused to sell any display items. So we asked to speak with the manager directly. That's when things went from disappointing to unacceptable. Manager Adam Bower approached us with an extremely dismissive attitude. He repeated "display only" with no willingness to hear our situation or even consider a solution. When I tried to explain that the items in the back were damaged, he cut me off with a curt "OK," showing zero interest in helping. His only suggestion--"order it online"--was pointless since the item wouldn't arrive in time for our event the next day. Both my husband (who has extensive management/customer service experience) and I were shocked at his lack of professionalism, courtesy, or even basic customer care. Hobby Lobby is a customer-facing business, and the way we were spoken to and brushed off was astonishing. To make matters worse, Adam ignored the fact that the display items were tagged with prices and lacked any "not for sale" signage, which would reasonably lead customers to believe these items could be purchased. The entire interaction left us frustrated and without the item we needed, despite driving out of our way and trying to work with the store to find a solution. Thankfully, I spoke with Deanna in customer service the next morning, and she kindly listened and assured me she would escalate the issue to the District Manager. I hope Hobby Lobby addresses this promptly. No customer should be dismissed the way we were--especially when they're trying to make a purchase and when store practices give the impression that display items are available. Hobby Lobby has always been a favorite store of mine, but this incident left a very negative impression. I sincerely hope no one else has an experience like this at this location.

    This store is crazy. You could literally be in here for hours and hours looking. They have everything you want need and things you didn't even know about . Love the amount of party supplies it's insane. They are all always so helpful and welcoming

    Got most of what we needed for some crafts that we were doing and Charles was a big help getting a ladder to get us items from the very top shelf. Even with the long lines, employees on register remain chipper for the most part. This store is definitely the candy store for all crafters!

    My husband and I are frequent shoppers of Hobby Lobby. We LOVE shopping here. That is until today. My husband had bought lots of Fall/Christmas decor yesterday, and when he was putting the decorations out, one of the pumpkin decorations had to have had a hairline crack we didn't see. He literally pulled it out of the bag gently and it broke in his hand. Thinking Hobby Lobby would have a manager with common sense, she did not! Anna (manager) from this Hobby Lobby denied my husband an exchange of the same item! OUTRAGEOUS! UNACCEPTABLE treatment of a long-time, faithful customer. You ruined his day and mine. #bewarned #dissatisfied

    I stopped by Ross in Murrieta, and Burlington as well. My mission today was to update my decor for our July 4th celebration. I was so bothered by the fact that neither of these stores had any thing..... not one stitch of RED, WHITE & BLUE!!!! Shame on those stores!!! I love HOBBY LOBBY. I knew I could count on them for this theme. However, the women who run register could use a course on friendliness. I spent close to $200 here today. The gal moved right on to the next customer and only said "Thank you," when I said "Thank you," first. Let me give you a crash course: 1. Greet: Hi how are you? Did you find what you came in for today? 2. Smile 3. Say goodbye: "Thank you for your business. Please check back with us soon, as we have new merchandise daily." Something is very dissatisfying about customer service here. It's Just a bunch of grumpy people who act like everything is a race. I truly cherish this store and ALWAYS find what I need. For that I give them 5 stars. I only Just wish these companies would go back to the drawing board and rethink how they treat us. That's all.

    Wow, just wow. This is my 2nd Hobby Lobby I've stepped foot into and I must say this one takes the cake. Selection.... this one has it. Great customer service... this one has it.... location... I mean it is right off the highway (cha ching!). Plenty of parking and super busy but that did not waiver once inside, the store is plenty big with aisle that go on and on and on (see picture attached). Again, looking for event decorations ideas and getting pricing for an upcoming event. There was a deal and ad that ended on Saturday with a new ad that started today. I did end up making a purchase (two times, as I had to go back and pick up something else) that was not even on my list of items I was in need of or searching for at all. That is how this place gets you! The set-up is amazing, the elegance the store brings makes you want to buy everything and set it up inside your house. Not to mention walking into the bathroom felt like I was walking into a fancy bar or restaurant entrance. Will definitely be back to visit when in the area!

    Found my stuff in the bottom of a cart in the middle of the store when Susanna said it was on hold in the back.

    Don't bother coming here... I forgot my wallet and assumed I could use Apple Pay but the cashier (didn't get his name, older white guy) went out of his way to make a scene because I didn't know you couldn't use it. I asked if I could set my cart aside and come back. I started walking away and he screamed at me to put the cart elsewhere, causing the most embarrassing scene. He called his manager, Susanna, over to hold my cart. I came back 2 hrs later and the manager left my cart sitting in an isle where everything was taken out of it... I openly asked her if it was intentional because her cashier was mad at me and all she could say was she can't control what people take and it sucks. Piss poor excuse and both crappy people... Susanna clearly doesn't have much customer experience and is zero help. Couldn't even bother apologizing for her associates outburst or for getting caught INTENTIONALLY putting my stuff in a random isle. Why are your only two cashiers slower than molasses? Wait in line for 30 minutes for damn decorations. Waste of time and money. The least you could do is provide decent customer service but your manager Susanna is terrible example. (Found out his name is Bill. Terrible worker.)

Now I'm older and not much has changed besides I have a little more money. It's card shops likes this that build memories for children and give them a taste of their youth as an adult. Almost 8 years later I come back here maybe once or every two weeks to see if anything is new. I don't forget how kind they were to me when I was younger with not much money. I also don't forget history this shop is the first the other shops have not been in the space as long. When you shop here you're supporting the history of Temecula, kind people, and your hobby. Aside from that this place is top tier. Take nostalgia out of the equation they are a legit place for Pokemon, grading, sports cards, exc. When I shop here I just feel better for some reason. The other spots kinda don't feel right and I'm trying to not go based on my childhood!! But the box's seem better here . My brother just bought me two etbs of the 30th and the centering was soo clean. I'm thinking does this place have better product? I don't know because I don't shop much elsewhere but they take care of the Pokémon. They don't cherry pick box's weigh out packs exc. it's just feels honest. Everything just flows here and vibe is correct. Other places feel musky, lighting is off, the people seem kinda of off too. They have have the maturity of an adult but the knowledge is there too. They are very professional and will give you honest opinions. The staff is VERY well balanced.

The…read morebiggest issue is the "Cultist" membership, which costs approximately $70 per month and, in my opinion, provides very little value for the average customer. The advertised benefits include access to sealed products at market pricing, 5% off singles, and entries into a lottery for the opportunity to purchase certain products at MSRP. However, these perks fall short when the store often has a very limited selection of singles available. Most of the binder inventory consists of heavily played or damaged cards, and there is rarely enough desirable inventory in-store to justify the membership cost. What makes this especially disappointing is that the store wasn't always this way. There was a time when they carried a strong selection of collectible cards and competitively priced sealed products. Today, the retail location feels more like a means to maintain distributor relationships than a store focused on serving the local community. While they are undoubtedly one of the largest names in the TCG industry, that reputation seems to come primarily from their presence at conventions and card shows. The physical storefront often lacks the inventory and customer experience that many collectors expect from a premier hobby shop. To their credit, they offer respectable trade-in values. Unfortunately, those trade-in percentages lose much of their appeal when there is little desirable inventory available to put that store credit toward. On the rare occasions that higher-end products or graded cards are available, the selection tends to be limited and often consists of less sought-after CGC or TAG slabs rather than cards many collectors are actively looking for. I genuinely used to enjoy visiting this store, which makes this review disappointing to write. However, based on my recent experiences, there are better local options for collectors and players looking for inventory, value, and an authentic hobby shop experience. Stores like Rizo and Tier 1 have done a much better job of maintaining the qualities that make a card shop worth visiting.
