Best Time to Visit

Y’all, let me tell you – timing is everything at Hobby Lobby! I’ve found that weekday mornings, especially Tuesday through Thursday, are the sweet spot for shopping here. The store is less crowded, and you can actually take your time browsing without feeling rushed. If you’re hunting for seasonal items, shop early in the season because the good stuff goes fast! And here’s a pro tip: they typically start marking down seasonal merchandise about 6-8 weeks before the actual holiday.

How to Get There

Most Hobby Lobby stores are located in major shopping centers or standalone buildings in retail areas. They’re usually easy to spot thanks to their large storefront and signature green logo. I always recommend checking their store hours before heading out – they’re closed on Sundays, which has caught me off guard more than once! Look for them near other major retailers and shopping centers, as they tend to be positioned in high-traffic commercial areas.

Tips for Visiting

Ok, here’s the real deal – I’ve learned these tricks the hard way over countless shopping trips! First off, always check their mobile website for their famous 40% off coupon before you go. But heads up – it only works on regular-priced items, and you can only use it on one item per day. Trust me on this one – don’t forget to bring your measuring tape if you’re shopping for home decor or fabric. I once bought what I thought was the perfect-sized canvas only to get home and realize it was way too small for my space!

Their departments are pretty well organized, but the store is huge, so grab one of those shopping carts even if you’re “just looking.” We’ve all been there – you go in for one thing and come out with a cart full of craft supplies you didn’t know you needed!

If you’re planning a big project, especially during holiday seasons, call ahead to check stock availability. Sometimes I’ve driven across town only to find out they’re sold out of the specific ribbon I needed for my Christmas wreaths. And speaking of projects, the staff in each department usually have some crafting experience, so don’t be shy about asking for advice or recommendations.

The store can get pretty busy during weekends and holiday seasons, so plan accordingly. I’ve found that early afternoon on weekdays is perfect for when I need to match fabrics or take my time picking out the perfect picture frame.

Remember to keep an eye on their rotating sales – different departments go on sale each week, and if you time it right, you can save big bucks. Just maybe don’t do what I did and buy enough Christmas ornaments to decorate three trees just because they were 80% off… though I’m not gonna lie, it was totally worth it!
