Erin was a fantastic help when I went to Hobby Lobby on Sunset. She found 2 items that I needed. She also offered to show me a similar item that was on a high shelf, and got a ladder to retrieve that item. I loved that additional item as well. Initially when I couldn't find the items on my own, I just was going to leave the store, but as soon as I met Erin, she turned things around. She really knows her Christmas products and department, and extended herself. She is a great asset to your store. Thanks Erin, strong work! read more

Value: +++++ Stock: +++++ Variety: +++++ Overall service summary: ++++ I am not this crafty person more because I have other priorities. My wife just loves Hobby Lobby and was so excited to have this location open a few years back. So with that being said I or we love this place and I will write this review to include thoughts from my wife. They are much larger and have a larger inventory than competitor Michael's. The store is well planned and laid out by "crafts" or needs. Always plenty of inventory on the shelf. And from my point of view every type of craft or hobby imaginable besides electrical or RC type hobby. So this is aimed at more of the crafts. My youngest son is in cub scouts and entered the pinewood derby race (2nd time) and I had gone to Elliot's Ace hardware last year for supplies and this year to a Michael's only to need more glue later in and decided to come here. Well now I found out they have a very extensive section for pinewood derby and no need to drive 20 minutes further than here. I also like the corporate philosophy of treating their employees with Christian values and the store hours and holidays reflect that. You sure don't find that too often in today's political correctness. I believe their prices are very reasonable too. Always clean and organized. The aisles are not too small and cramped with stock. So with all of this love, why 4 stars? The overall service brings the rating down to 4 stars. Just okay. Always need to search around for help and usually one checkout is open. Occasionally two. During holidays that's when you feel the wait is excessive. But they probably manage their cost with the labor really well and pass that savings down to the consumer so if I could give them 4.5 stars I would. To me, no need to go anywhere else for your craft needs. read more

Yes, they have quite a selection in the types of craft materials and home decor. Their prices are average...some items are cheaper than other craft stores, other items are more expensive than Walmart. So I tend to shop around. I do find it weird that each item has to be keyed in by ID number - slow. It also means that they have to check the shelf to let you know if they have an item in stock (not available for them to just pull up on a computer). Staff is friendly though. read more

These Floral's we're from the same Display, however when I went upfront to pay for them they were two different prices. The checker said they're from different shipments. WTF! Same SKU number. Needless to say I did not buy these. Beware of hobby lobby on Sunset Drive!!! I will be contacting the Wisconsin consumer protection agency and the Better Business Bureau. read more

See all

Terrible. The store is called Hobby Lobby so we thought that it would sell...hobby items? Nope. I engage in a variety of art hobbies, all of which Micheal's carries and many of which Jo Ann's carries, and none of which Hobby Lobby carries. Looking around, it seems they carry more decorative items for your home or outside your home like lawn flags and statues. No clay making items, no jewelry making items, no painting supplies. This is not the place to visit to either find a new hobby or get supplies for any of your hobbies. We left laughing about it and vowing never to return. read more

Not sure when the Grand Opening was... or is... but I had a coupon, so I stopped in to see if they had the yarn I needed. I kind of like all of the furniture they have at the front of the store before you enter and if I wasn't planning on relocating in the near future, I probably would have been suckered into buying some of it! As I walked in, it was very much like every other Hobby Lobby I have been to, even had the new store smell! Seemed to be fairly busy. It didn't look like there were signs for the aisles, so I kind of had to guess where the yarn was located. Some of the shelves and racks still look at bit bare, which is why I said that I wasn't sure if they had the Grand Opening yet or not. The yarn section seemed a bit small compared to JoAnn Fabric and Michael's and it seems to be all Hobby Lobby brand. Some of it looks just like other brands, and for some of their lines, they have quite the selection of colours, but for some of the lines, the selection is slim. They do seem to have a larger selection of crochet hooks, including Tunisian Crochet Hooks, which is nice since not many places sell them. I use the aluminum Boye hooks, which they do not carry, however, their store brand, Yarnology, seems to be the same make as the Boye hooks. I was also looking for some buttons, so I headed over to the fabric department. The buttons are in the back corner of the department and while some of the buttons are quite nice, they just have one stand of buttons. I could do with a nice haberdashery store with a large selection of unique buttons, but I settled on a variety pack of oversized buttons. There was a staff member hovering around customers and she seemed to be driving people away more than helping them. The lady who rang me up at the register was having a rant about how annoying the manager at the front was with his long status update over the walkie talkie. And apparently they do not have scanners, so they have to type in the cost of each item and what category it is. With as nice as their computer system looks, you would think they would have scanners to help make check out a bit quicker. read more

Good selection of merchandise to pick from. That's the only thing. Customer service isn't very when you so find a sales clerk. Otherwise you have to run all the way upfront to the register to get help. read more

Pretty neat place, though i think the word "hobby" get's lost as there isn't as much selection with most hobby/crafting supplies. But i did find what i went there for and that was a big plus as i was expecting to order it online. They have some pretty awesome decorations there as well. read more

I'm very pleased that Hobby Lobby has come to Waukesha! I sell art and jewelry, and Hobby Lobby is my go-to store for supplies. In addition, they have such a good selection of every type of craft item that it's hard to decide what to purchase. Hobby Lobby offers considerable discounts via in store sales and coupons. The store is always neat and clean, and the employees are friendly. All in all, Hobby Lobby provides a pleasant shopping experience. read more
