Last year, I bought a nice shelf unit at the store in Ocala. I was a little miffed that the cashier refused to complete the sale without a zip code, so I made one up. I don't provide it since I read a Wall Street Journal article that zip codes can be linked to your credit card number, to collect information about you.

But, I think it will be difficult to support a store that large in The Villages.

Wow...pretty negative!!! All you have to do is NOT go there and spend money. Of course, it is your choice.

I'm with you 100%.

I will never shop there because of their anti-stand on women's health care, i.e., women's reproductive rights, as an example.

Michael's gets my business when I have a need for that kind of store.

I am sure I will never have a reason to go to Hobby Lobby BUT thanks for reminding me that it is a Christian based company that is against abortion. I will make a point to patronize the store now

You might want to read up on the multitude of medical facilities that birth control is not covered, much less plan b. For 40 plus years we paid out of pocket healthcare monthly if no less than $849 per month, plus deductible

Last year working full time,I needed to take 13 weeks off for spouse medical issues I paid $3,290 monthly to keep insurance.
Medicare does not cover yearly checkup for Gyn visits. So Medicare should be off your user list.
So along with HL, you might want to take many hospitals off of your list for your business
