Expand Your Imagination at Hobby Lobby.

Should not have entered Hobby Lobby. It's huge. And I purchased a textured sketchbook. There goes my weekly budgeting. The video is a little long, because there is so much...stuff. It's enormous on the inside. Isles upon isles, of everything you need for crafts, hobbies, and art. Everything for every season, available for you, today.
The Rome, New York location is in the former JC Penny store, on Erie Boulevard, in the shopping plaza of overpriced Grand Union grocery & Marshalls store.
Hobby Lobby, stores have a volume of over $5 billion. That's a-lot of products. And more than 1,000 stores in forty-eight states. Founded in 1972, it employs 40,000 people, nationwide. The retail store chain, concentrates on traditional(Grass Roots) Conservative values, which is evident walking into the store, and has strong Christian beliefs. Hey folks! Not all artists, are liberal, as media, makes you believe and colleges insultingly influence artists. Domino's Pizza and Lowe's Home Improvement, are also Christian companies. The headquarters of the company are in Oklahoma(very Grass Roots), and was founded by David Green, American billionaire, and funded the Museum of the Bible, in Washington D.C. Son, Steve Green, is the current corporate president.
I don't know how this retail store, will affect the art supply small businesses, but before going to Hobby Lobby, do the right thing, and check-out the small business art & craft stores. For me, it's about that personal customer interaction. Hobby Lobby, has none of that. They only deal with you at the register. I want a business that actually knows arts & crafts, such as the Copper Easel, next to the Capitol Theater.
