Hobby Lobby is an American arts and crafts chain with over 800 stores across the United States. The company is privately owned and operated by the Green family, who are devout Christians.
The company was founded in 1972 by David Green, who opened the first Hobby Lobby store in Oklahoma City. The company has since grown to become one of the largest arts and crafts retailers in the country.
The Greens are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), and the company has been described as a “Mormon company.” The Greens have donated millions of dollars to Mormon causes, and they have also been active in promoting Mormon values through their businesses.
Hobby Lobby has been praised for its family-friendly policies, including allowing employees to take paid time off to care for sick children or attend religious events. The company has also been criticized for its policies, including its opposition to contraception coverage in employee health insurance plans.
The Greens have said that they operate their business according to Biblical principles, and they have been outspoken about their Christian faith. The family has also been active in politics, supporting conservative candidates and causes.
Hobby Lobby is not a Mormon company, but the Greens are devout Mormons who have used their business to promote Mormon values.
