If you're ever reading a 5 star review from me, just know that it has come from Consistency. Yes,…read morewith a capital C!!! This Hobby Lobby in particular embodies what great customer service means in my opinion. It is actually nice that a few seasoned employees remember me and my daughter when we come in on the weekends! I have had multiple encounters with the professional framer and I'm afraid I cannot remember her name, but she is the sweetest and always ensured my mirrors are framed to perfection; even if it takes longer than expected. Truth be told, I am never in a rush because I don't live in Lawrence anymore and I wouldn't say I am a heavy weight, but definitely not light weight thrifter so I find mirrors for almost nothing and come here to get them framed! Big emphasis on this location, because I have been to a few in Johnson county and they do not "frame mirrors"...which is good to know because if you're like me and you have an eye for bringing things to life this is the only Hobby Lobby you need to come to for all your crafty needs.

To my surprise this hobby lobby has been around for at least three years since I've lived in the…read moreLawrence area, so I am really amazed that no one has done a review on the store but I guess hobby lobby hasn't had a very good name on the side of political correctness in recent years so maybe that has a lot to do with it. Therefore I will not be addressing any political issues I will only address what I experienced after all that is what this is about letting people know the service and quality of the stores. This hobby lobby is located right off the exit of K-10 Highway into Lawrence Kansas. The store is located between Hollywood theaters and five below and home goods. It's well lit, will seen and very recognizable. I do wish the parking lot could be extended a little more. The fact that you share the parking lot with five below and home goods sometimes it's very hard to find a parking space if you're going to Hobby lobby. The inside of the store looks the same as any other hobby lobby that you may have attended very neat, very clean and shelves are fully stocked at all times however being fully stocked doesn't mean being stocked with what you came in looking for and this was the problem I met today. For months, I have been in search of liquid potpourri and essential oils. However I'm not trying to buy them in small teeny bottles I want them in big bottles so that they last longer. Everywhere I've gone I keep running into no one having The liquid potpourri and the only essential oils I can find are the little bottles. I have looked to Amazon as my last resort and it looks as though I will have to online my time due to the fact that this hobby lobby don't have what I need. A lot of brick and mortar stores often wonder why online shopping has become the big thing well it mainly is because when we shop online we get what we want. Simply put it used to be that way with brick and mortar but over the years things have changed. We can blame Covid, we can blame China but at the end of the day it is the store's responsibility to have what the customer wants and when you don't have it, you lose the customer. so as I have done in the past Amazon will be my store for home Decor from here on out but if you are a brick and mortar lover and you just have to go that route, this location you may be able to have what you're looking for, I just wasn't so in my case.

It's right on Massachusetts Street just to the outskirts of downtown. I saw toys from my youth. I saw more recent toys. I saw stuffed animals and T-shirts. Check out the pictures because my descriptions are not gonna do this place justice. The folks that were working there were extremely helpful and friendly. If you're anywhere near Lawrence Kansas, make sure you stop in and patronize this small business. You'll be surprised what you'll find. I'm going back to Ohio with a smile on my face. And I'm only gonna be able to put 10 or so photos here so be sure to go over to Google Maps and check out the rest

I drove all the way to the area pinned on the map and scouted all across the block for it, only to find a dark glass door and nothing else. I think it leads to the electronics store, or the mattress store, I don't know and quite frankly I don't care to check because that would require me to exit out of this page and lose this reveiw.

They give the term lhs a good name and I'm happy to come in browse their wares and spend money on cool things I don't need or the things I do :)

Short Version: Norm helped me over the phone and in store and he was amazing! I had a wonderful…read moreexperience and will definitely be back! Long Version: I had been looking at getting into RC cars for awhile and had settled on a brand and model on my own after extensive research. Traxxas Bandit for $189 seemed perfect for me. It was reasonably priced with good standard performance and features. I was looking online but everywhere I saw one, it said "could take up to 10 business days for delivery" and I really wanted it sooner so I started looking around in town. A different store had one and they were nice enough but I didn't know the $189 didn't come with battery/charger and wasn't quite ready to spend the cash. When I WAS ready, I decided to call a Hobby Town instead because the other store was a little dirty and while the employee answered my questions, they weren't very personable and when I thanked them for their time but said I wasn't aware of the full cost and I'd have to postpone my purchase, they just kind of stared off and didn't say anything. Like they were annoyed I didn't spend any money after I took up only approximately 5 minutes of their time. Not the worst customer service but still far from the best. Norm at Hobby Town however was wonderful from the beginning. I perused their site to make sure they had what I wanted and called to confirm. Norm answered with an enthusiastic and upbeat attitude, answered all my questions, reserved the unit behind the counter for me and said "see you later" in a way that seemed he was actually excited to see and help me when I got there. When entering the store it was the same way, happy greeting and warm smile. I explained who I was and again he seemed excited. This made me feel very good about my choice to purchase here instead. Again he answered all my questions, made recommendations when asked for them and was even nice and acknowledged my children when they asked or told him something. We left the store smiling and excited to get my Bandit home and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Thanks again Notm, I'm sure I'll be speaking to you again soon!

TableTop is an excellent stop for anyone interested in card games, board games, puzzles, unique finds, Warhammer materials, or groups to join! First of all, TableTop has an excellent selection of games and other related materials. I've never seen so many Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride expansions, but if you need them, they're available! They also just have so many games that I would have never seen before, so I always make sure to have a while to look around to find new things. Second--everyone who works there is SO GREAT and very, very knowledgeable. I can't tell you how much more exciting this makes the experience because they are willing to spend time and give options based on what you're looking for. During my last visit, I got to share some of the games I really liked, and we vowed to come back and share about our experiences next time! Love this place. Basically, I'd give them all my money if that was a feasible option. Thanks for all the great games, suggestions, and interactions, TableTop!

Well, actually it is, because it's full of cool stuff. Think gift shop + art shop + boutique curio, and maybe that *starts* to describe the space. There are plenty of keepsakes, art supplies, and gift ideas that will run your tab up very quickly. It's all good stuff, mind you, but it's almost like they should have an "I'll take one of everything package". The front of the store is mostly boutique-ish and has a small up and downstairs. You can find gifts for just about anyone, and this is the kind of place where you can stuff stockings or get something unique for that special someone. If you need ideas, then ask one of the staff who are always willing to help. If you need specifics in the art department, then there is a station in the back to help you with various items such as paper types or other supplies. The unique nature of some of the items leads to perhaps some higher prices, but the value is spot on. You're finding gifts, not clipping coupons, so enjoy and shop a little. For everything that you think might be marked a little high, just remind yourself that you probably aren't going to find that in very many other places. And that's the fun of shopping: just browsing when you have the time and maybe the resources, looking at things that you didn't know you were going to find, and in this case, helping a great small business thrive.
