Crafting Creativity Since 1972

In 1972, David and Barbara Green started a small home business in their garage in Oklahoma City, fueled by a passion for creativity and a simple vision: to make arts and crafts accessible to everyone. What began as a modest operation quickly grew into a family legacy, rooted in faith and a commitment to serving the creative community.

Today, Hobby Lobby stands as the world’s largest privately owned arts-and-crafts retailer, offering a vast array of supplies for every imaginable project. From fabric and floral to home décor and jewelry-making, our stores are treasure troves designed to inspire artists, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts of all skill levels to bring their ideas to life.

We are more than just a store; we are a family. Our culture is built on the foundational principles of faith, integrity, and generosity. We strive to create an environment where both our customers and our team members feel valued, supported, and inspired to explore their creative potential every single day.
