Hobby Lobby — Attraction in San Jose

1st time in a Hobby Lobby- huuuge. So many categories of decor, craft, hobby, and more. Prices are very competitive too. There is a sizable sewing section. The lines to check out are crazy long but that’s due to grand opening. And … they are closed on Sunday- thank you for all the reasons you do that.

There is an overwhelming amount of cow themed EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE though. Like for a vegan kinda uncomfortable.

Those complaining about they don’t hire LGBTQ/discriminate, No … here is what they do: Pending Supreme Court case: In this case, Meggan Sommerville, a transgender woman (so a man), sued her longtime employer Hobby Lobby for not allowing use to the women's restroom at work. Which impacts other employees and customers who are biologically women to be in a shared restroom with a biological man … who identifies as a woman.

Hobby Lobby is arguing that it's not illegal to prevent transgender employees from using the restroom that matches their gender identity. They are not bashing LGBT customers & they are hiring all types plus treating them well enough to become longtime employees. So seriously 😒 check your...

I was genuinely impressed by how massive this Hobby Lobby store is—easily bigger than Safeway, Party City, or even Walmart Neighborhood Market. From the moment I walked in, the staff stood out with their friendliness and eagerness to help. They were more than happy to guide me through the store and help me find whatever I was looking for, and they did so with genuine enthusiasm.

The store itself is a treasure trove of interesting and unique items. Whether you’re into home décor, crochet, art supplies, painting, photo framing, or even just looking for cool mugs or crafting accessories—you’ll find it here. It really does live up to the name when it says anything related to your hobby is under one roof.

What surprised me the most were the prices. I compared several items with what’s available online on Amazon, and Hobby Lobby consistently came out cheaper—which was a pleasant surprise!

This is definitely my new go-to spot for all things creative and decorative. I’ll surely be returning for my future needs. Highly...

I visited the store today for the first time and I have one suggestion: Make Customer Service a Priority! Train your staff! There were staff everywhere but I wasn't greeted by anyone or asked if I needed help at any time. When I did ask if a certain item was carried in the store (and I had a photo for reference), the man I asked said No. He said "Do we even carry that" and I told him I'd heard from someone online that they did, and he turned and walked away from me without another word. I could hear two other men unpacking boxes and complaining loudly about their jobs and their supervisor. Several people had to wait at the returns register as it was the only one open, despite there being 4 other employees standing around and taking with each other. I'll go buy what I was looking for on Amazon. I'd like to support the in-person stores, but that was a...
