Hobby Lobby has to be one of the most overwhelming stores to ever exist. They have literally…read moreanything and everything you can possibly think of -- much more than your typical craft supply store. Most recently, I noticed they started carrying children's toys and baby clothing... just in time for Christmas. Like, what? I guess they really want to be a one stop shop for all your gifting needs. Don't get me wrong... I love it, but I have to go there with a very specific mission and a list of things I'm looking for. Otherwise, I'll just end up wandering aimlessly up and down every aisle for hours finding a million things I want but don't need. And then I'll spend another hour talking myself out of every purchase lol. The good news is if I need anything craft related, they have it. But I can never find anything on my own. I almost always have to ask for assistance to locate items I'm looking for. In my floral design days, I was here on the reg for projects and I really liked exploring their dried & preserved floral selection that has continued to expand. I've scooped up some unique florals here in the past. Their current selection of dyed bunny tails is so good. I decided to stop in this past weekend to shop their sale on all the holiday decor. Wow, it felt like half the store was dedicated to Christmas. I perused every aisle and just couldn't decide what to buy. There was a lot of stuff I liked, but the decision fatigue was real. I ended up purchasing some honeycomb paper ornaments and trees that were 50% off. They're very classy and chic and I love how they can collapse down for easy storage. But that's all I got and somehow I always come home covered in glitter.

Terrible customer service. They won't help. The selection is garbage. They don't carry so many…read moreholidays. It's all over priced garbage. Avoid at all costs. Try a company that doesn't hate others.

I've been a patron of this store for many years now. While I do not visit it as often as I used to…read moreback in my collegiate and (worldwide) traveling days, I still pop in from time to time for my camera needs. Sometimes, I pop in just to see what new doo-dads and knick-knacks they have in store. Service is always good - at least I've never had any negative experiences. Staff are always kind and helpful. They have a good variety of popular / some vintage, and some niche items. Pricing can vary depending on what you are looking for. Usually, I find them comparable to other major retailers if you are looking at the more popular "items." However, you can get a good deal out of here. It really just depends on what it is you are in search of. All in all, this is a great little shop for your photography and hobby needs.

It is great knowing a local mom-and-pop business is still here and running…read more I first came to Colonial Photo & Hobby well over a decade ago when my daughter first became interested in photography and I bought her her first decent setup. Since then, I have been in here countless times and have always had nothing but a fantastic experience. Prices are competitive and the service was knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend here.

The store has so many cute knick-knacks. The prices are a little on the higher side. However, there…read moreare unique items that you won't find anywhere else. So if you're looking for something special, this is definitely the place to go. I love that they had a refillable water station. As someone who tries to drink a lot of water, this is a huge plus for me. Especially since this store is in a shopping center with a bunch of other stores. I would make a point to stop in this store just to refill my water bottle if needed and browze around. When I first walked in there were two ladies and the front area who offered to help me find anything in particular. I was really just browsing around so I didn't need any help but they were friendly. They did have a clearance area in the very back of the store on the wall so be sure to check that area out to see if you can find a good value item.

We took advantage of a sale that was online only this past week and had the item shipped to the…read morestore. We visited the store this morning and made the pickup. We also bought an additional cool item in the store that we didn't initially intend on buying. I noticed that a lot of the displays at the entry had been refreshed (to celebrate Memorial Day, Grilling, and and the good ol' US of A) with new items. The store goes above and beyond to entice their customers..

We went here twice before this year's Halloween events started ramping up. We struggled to find a…read moretoddler sized outfit online that we liked, and matched a 'family' themed costume idea, so we hit the stores. We walked around getting ideas and it was well laid out and they have TONS on offer. For munchkin we got a Minnie Mouse costume. We were able to find a Wonder Woman costume for me in the sale section - win! For him, we went with a Superman costume. Everything was comparably priced to online offerings and it was nice to see the materials and costumes in person. They had fitting rooms, but we opted to skip them as we know our costume sizes pretty well cause we LOVE to dress up. They are now doing clearance sales before they close up - so if you want something on the cheap - now is the time!! Overall: A We were able to find outfits for the whole family and they were comparably priced to match online deals / offers.
