The store is enormous but feels like an endless warehouse of mass-produced décor and clutter. I found what I needed and headed straight for the checkout. No Apple Pay in 2026 is baffling. The front-end manager barked directions at customers and employees without the slightest hint of warmth or hospitality. The constant religious messaging throughout the store was equally off-putting. Crosses, Bible-themed merchandise, and Christian branding are everywhere. I respect a company's right to express its values, but I came to buy cardstock, not shop in the middle of a sermon. I was in and out as quickly as possible. One visit was enough. Not for me - 1 star

The bags are nice and sturdy and will be useful throughout the year for gift giving.

Speaking of seasons, they have plenty of items for the various seasons and holidays. On a side note, it is a bummer that retailer Jo-Ann went out of biz by May of 2025. Glad to have HL at two South Bay locations currently. Another Elite yelper may have mentioned how the store layout is arranged by department category and is not numbered. Customer service is hit or miss. Most of the time, I have been on my own depending on which department. On the sales floor no one has approached me to offer assistance. The employees at the framing section have been helpful and efficient. Cashiers have been nice for the most part but their supervisors or leads did not give that same courteous vibe. Hours are 9am to 8pm and closed on Sundays. The Yelp 3 star average overall is accurate.

They have a wide variety of hobbies and decorations for your home. Prices are great. Keep in mind, this store is a Christian company so the store is closed on Sundays. During Christmas, this place is packed with customers and will often run out of decoration supplies for your Christmas decorating needs, so go early in the season. Lines will be especially long during that time of year, even on the weekdays. You must have patience while standing in line. The wait can be a bit long.
