Don't read the Sun any more, so probably the last to know, but looks like Hobby Lobby finally ready to open.... has any date been published or just still the "opening soon" ?

Are they planning a big sale on their opening day?

Doesn’t matter if there is a sale… give away a 5cent plastic bag, TV residents will be waiting in line.

As a whole we had 5 HL’s open near us. That was when they offered coupons for extra % off. That practice stopped before the pandemic.
The last Hobby Lobby opened up north, no freebies, coupons, Or different specials that wasn’t offered at all stores.

They did give away a plastic bag to help you shop, without a cart, if you so choose. I would guess around 8/21 their flyer may have more info on new opening values. HL prices are high unless it’s on sale, so its my last resort if I can’t find it online.

Staff for new store,(so every person hired for every shift, and 6 days, night stock people, and staff from other store to help with opening..
Couple of new employees were in Fresh Market getting lunch, talking about how many people it takes to get a HL open. Once open after a few weeks you will see staff reduce to normal.
