Varies rumors concerning where Hobby Lobby will be located
 
Rumors flying as usual... does anyone know exactly which (now vacant) existing building Hobby Lobby is moving into ? Perhaps someone who read the villages newspaper has seen it in an article ?

Hobby Lobby will erect a new building with parking in an empty lot on Wedgewood Lane. This villager believes he knows the location - behind (north of) The Fresh Market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jru0tHxf0E

By 466, Costco was in negotiations but Hobby Lobby swooped in

Thanks for the info, looks like we won't be shopping for craft materials for quite a while yet, but another new business in a growing area.... 86,000 additional residents in ten years... hope they can find enough employees in this retirement area...LOL !

Don’t you mean find enough employees that want to work? :)

Asked my magic 8 ball. The answer was, " Be patient. All will become clear in time".
Guess we'll have to wait a while. 🎱

Considering that most people living in reasonable distance to it are either already working somewhere, or retired...

They are closed on Sundays, so most high school kids would not be interested in a job there. They usually work only on weekends.

Only full timers get benefits, though part-timers can buy in to their self-insurance, which covers viagra and male condoms, but doesn't cover birth control pills for women, and costs more than most of the part-timers earn in a week; hourly employees don't even get sick time. The discount is only 15%.

As a customer, we have two craft stores already in the area: Michael's and JoAnne Fabrics. You can't get Halloween stuff at Hobby Lobby because they think Halloween is a night of Satan or some such nonsense.

So, don’t shop there. They have the right to run their store they way they want to.

Don’t you mean find an employer willing to pay a decent wage? $9 an hour is NOT a decent wage for anyone!

tklloop 03-25-2022 05:33 AM

Exactly, and I would encourage others not to shop there either!!

So you’re not a fan of Hobby Lobby and their Christian beliefs

Glad they are coming. My wife won't have to go to Ocala or Mt Dora anymore.
