I visit this location as well as other locations often. The past two times i was there, I ended up having a bad checking out experience. Last time, it was a new girl with someone shadowing her, I figured i was good since she had someone monitoring her. The monitor was pretty distracted with chatting and when i got home, i realized that i had been charged full price for paper plates and napkins which are ALWAYS 50% off. why not just price them that way? anyways i got taken that day. Today i bought 8 of the tshirts that are marked $4.37 but are again always 30% off or $2.99. i honestly think the cashier was the same new girl from the last visit (3weeksago). she rings up the first two shirts at $4.37 each. i told her that they were always 30% off and she just blankly stared at me and grabbed another shirt to ring up at $4.37. i said please stop as i am not paying that price so please look on your sheet to see that they are $2.99. She really didn't seem to have a clue what to do at this point so i said to the cashier at the next register "how much are these shirts?". trying to assure the young girl that they were $2.99. the other cashier said they are $2.99 30% off and told me to not scold her as she's new and that i should be patient with her?! what? who wasn't patient? i got that she didn't have a clue what to do and was trying to get her some assistance on how to proceed as she had frozen. The nerve of that woman to criticize me in front of many others when i was supportive of the young girl without mindlessly paying twice the cost so she wouldn't have to deal with the real price. So.disgusted. if someone needs extra training - please provide it to them but don't yell at your customers when they try to work through the situation. read more

I'm a big geek and love craft-like activities. Usually I get my best ideas wandering around stores and looking at various items and thinking of different ways to use them. Hobby Lobby is a land of a bazillion potential ideas. I walked around for an hour and a half (much to my sister's dismay) and had to stop myself from starting too many projects at once. The home decor items are at the very least interesting and the very best unique and fantastic. You'll find your fair share of ceramic roosters, but there are some great treasures there as well. I don't like buying things there unless they are on sale. It seems to rotate through the sections. One day ribbon is full price, the next day it is half price. Just don't pay full price unless you have to. The paintbrush section is a lot better than Michael's selection. There are more brands and higher quality brands with more brush shapes. It's no Blick, but for suburban McHenry, it gets the job done. The paper options are also notable. They had a LOT of different types and prints. Some Michaels have a good selection, but I have yet to see one as good as Hobby Lobby. If you are like me and like picking up items and getting ideas, the clearance section is like a treasure hunt. I picked up a lot of very cheap items that I know I will use in the future. It's quite fun to dig through. Why 2 stars? The owner of Hobby Lobby has no interest in supporting women's rights or gay rights. WHO DO YOU THINK SHOPS AT YOUR STORE??? While I think the employees I've come across are fantastic and truly enjoy the store, I just can't give it more than 2 stars. And sadly after writing this and feeling rather hypocritical about shopping here....I will put my money behind companies who care about the rights of their customers and employees. read more

Hobby Lobby - Art Supplies Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

I bought a multi-purpose art table from Hobby lobby and first tried to place an order online to pick up in store but that is not an available option, okay fine. I had the product delivered and paid the extra $13 to do so. I received the table and constructed it, one because that is what you do and two to ensure it would be the size I needed to which it was to small. When I reached out to Hobby Lobby about returning the table that was only constructed and then deconstructed right away and repackaged, the company said that since I put the table together I cannot return it. Therefore, I am now out $150 and have a desk I won't be able to use for what I need it for. I love Hobby Lobby but they have now lost a customer. read more

I loved everything about this place. Everything was on sale and they have TONS of spiritual plaques and wall decor. I got so many beautiful items for $24, because almost the entire store was 50% off! If you're looking for some nice classy designs with spiritual meaning then this is the place to go. Tons of farmhouse rustic items as well as chests for keepsakes. There was hardly any wait while checking out and the store is very clean. Everything is organized, well lit, and well kept. Honestly this place is doing a great job! read more

I LOVE Hobby Lobby. The store is what you would expect from Hobby Lobby, a wide variety of art and art supplies, crafts, etc. Though I never really believed that religion should have a place in business. Seems like they are trying to cash in on the overwhelming christian population in the country if you ask me. I am christian too, by the way. Nevertheless, I love this place, I come here for all my art needs. Just don't try to get a job here, as I guess this annoys them. I recently applied there, and when I went to turn it in some old ugly-faced sour woman at the register accepted it with a grunt and wouldn't even look me in the eye, much less smile at me, regardless of my polite manners. I thought this was just her, and for a moment thought "If they'll hire this troll they'll hire me for sure" and so I decided not to let it bother me. But then I called and spoke with a manager named Morgan regarding the application and was disappointed to find that she acted the same way. Very curt, very unfriendly, coldly professional. She practically hung up on me. I didn't think this is how a "good christian company" would treat people but what do I know? I felt very dismissed and wished I hadn't wasted time applying in the first place. This is a new store, it just opened up some months ago. While I love Hobby Lobby and their product line I'm kind of sad to say that it looks like they did wrong with the hiring here, as I've not met too many friendly employees, none when trying to apply for a job. Maybe all the crusty old ladies they have working here don't want a younger crowd coming in and forcing them into retirement. Yeah, I called you crusty. Go home and feed your cats. read more

to be honest this was the first Hobby Lobby I went into and I loved it friendly staff and great merchandise

The Manager is very unfriendly and never smiles when I am there. Maybe she has some problems but, smiles are easy. The cashiers are not too friendly either. The store selections are great but, some items are pricey. read more
