Hobby Lobby is an American chain of craft stores founded by David Green in 1972. The company is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and has over 800 stores across the United States. The company is owned by the Green family, who are devout Christians.
Hobby Lobby has been embroiled in a number of legal controversies. In 2014, the company won a landmark Supreme Court case that allowed them to exempt themselves from the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate on religious grounds. The company has also been criticized for their policies on employees’ hours and wages, as well as their support of right-wing causes.
Despite these controversies, Hobby Lobby remains a popular destination for crafters and hobbyists. The company is known for its wide selection of products and its competitive prices. Hobby Lobby is also known for its generous employee benefits, which include health insurance and a 401(k) retirement plan.
The Green family continues to own and operate Hobby Lobby. They have no plans to sell the company or take it public. The family has said that they hope to pass the business down to their children and grandchildren.
