National Craft & Home Decor Retailer Prepares for the Opening of its New Store in Woodbury, MN
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Hobby Lobby Stores, a privately held national retail chain of craft & home decor stores, is set to open a new store in Woodbury, MN. Construction and renovations have begun on this 49,000 square-foot building formerly occupied by Sportman’s Warehouse, located at Hudson Road and Woodbury Drive.
This is Hobby Lobby’s fourth location in Minnesota, which is projected to open around the end of February. The location will bring about 35 – 50 jobs to the community paying $14 per hour for full time and $9.50 per hour for part-time associates.
“We are pleased to supply the community’s demand for the one-of-a-kind shopping experience only Hobby Lobby can provide. Our stores offer the widest variety of craft and home decor merchandise under one roof. There’s something for every family member,” stated John Schumacher, Assistant Vice President of Advertising.
Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK, began as Greco, a miniature picture frames company in 1970. When David Green moved his business from the family’s garage to a 300 square foot retail space in 1972, Hobby Lobby was founded. Today, Hobby Lobby has nearly 600 stores across the nation that average 55,000 square feet in size. This major Oklahoma City-based private corporation offers more than 70,000 crafting and home decor products in its stores. Departments include floral, fabric, needle art, custom framing, baskets, home accents, wearable art, arts and crafts, jewelry making, scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies. Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Hobby Lobby stores are closed on Sunday.
