Hobby Lobby stores are open 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday and are closed every Sunday, without exception. The Sunday closure is company policy rather than a local decision, so it applies to every store in the chain. Below you’ll find Hobby Lobby opening hours today, closing times, and the full holiday schedule including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.
The 8:00 PM close is earlier than most big-box retailers, which catches out anyone used to shopping craft supplies late in the evening. Combined with the Sunday closure, it means Hobby Lobby has the shortest opening hours of any chain this size.
Hobby Lobby hours today at a glance
Hobby Lobby Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
Hobby Lobby hours are identical Monday through Saturday. There is no late night and no Sunday opening, so the practical weekly window is 66 hours, well below the 100-plus that most big-box chains run.
Why Hobby Lobby Is Closed on Sundays
Hobby Lobby closes on Sunday as a matter of company policy, set by the founding Green family on religious grounds. It isn’t a staffing decision or a regional variation, and it has been in place across the whole chain for decades. No Hobby Lobby store anywhere in the US opens on a Sunday.
The practical consequence is that Saturday is by far the busiest day of the week, particularly Saturday afternoon, because it absorbs the demand that would otherwise spread across the weekend. If you can shop on a weekday morning instead, the store is dramatically quieter.
The same thinking explains the 8:00 PM close. Hobby Lobby has publicly framed the early finish as giving staff their evenings back, and it has stuck with it even as competitors extended into the night.
Hobby Lobby Closing Hours
Closing time is listed for each day in the table above. Staff begin closing down registers in the final fifteen minutes, so arriving ten minutes before close makes for a rushed trip.

Hobby Lobby Saturday and Sunday Hours
Hobby Lobby Saturday hours
Hobby Lobby Saturday hours are 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which is the same as a weekday. Saturday is the busiest day of the week at almost every location, with the heaviest traffic between late morning and mid afternoon. If you need a service counter rather than the shop floor, aim for the first hour after opening, because the lines build quickly once the morning gets going.
Hobby Lobby Sunday hours
Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday at every location. There is no reduced Sunday service and no regional exception, so Saturday evening is the practical cut-off for anything you need before Monday. Expect Saturday to be correspondingly busier as a result.
How to Check Hobby Lobby Hours Before You Go
Hours on this page reflect the schedule used by the large majority of Hobby Lobby locations, but any individual store can differ, and holiday times in particular are often set locally. Three ways to confirm, in order of reliability:
- The official Hobby Lobby store locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- The store’s Google Business listing, which usually shows special holiday hours a week or two in advance and is a good cross-check.
- Calling the store directly, which is the only method that catches a same-day change such as a weather closure or a staffing shortage.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Hobby Lobby is at its busiest and least likely to answer the phone quickly.
Hobby Lobby Busy Hours and the Best Time to Shop
Saturday is the busiest day by a wide margin, because the Sunday closure pushes an entire weekend’s demand into one day. Saturday from late morning to late afternoon is the peak, and the checkout lines reflect it.
Weekday mornings between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM are by far the quietest, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Weekday evenings after 6:00 PM are also calm, though you only get two hours before the 8:00 PM close. Avoid the week before any major craft season, particularly the run-up to Christmas, when the seasonal aisles are rearranged constantly.
