Hobby Lobby often hears from concerned customers who have read on social media that the company is closing its doors. The online article gives the impression that Hobby Lobby founder and CEO, David Green, has decided to shut down all Hobby Lobby stores. The article goes on to say, “Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.” And many people have.

The good news is that the report is false. Hobby Lobby is not closing stores. In fact, the company is experiencing tremendous growth, opening 50 new stores in 2017 with plans to open more in the following years. The company looks forward to meeting customers’ expectations with super selection and super savings for many years to come.
