Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. has opened a new arts and crafts retail store in South Jordan at 11681 S. Parkway Plaza Drive — within the District Shopping Center.
This is Hobby Lobby's second store in Utah. Lewis Hartis will be the store manager. The other Utah store is in Layton.
"We've had a lot of requests for a store to be opened in the South Jordan area, and we look forward to serving the community," John Schumacher, assistant vice president of advertising, said.
The new store officially opened on June 18.
Hobby Lobby isn't just an arts and crafts store. It has departments ranging from crafts, hobbies, picture framing, jewelry making, fashion fabrics, floral, cards and party, baskets, wearable art, to home accents and holiday supplies.
Hobby Lobby was founded in 1972 in Oklahoma City with 300 feet of retail space. The company has grown to 384 stores in 30 states and operates from a 3.4 million sq. ft. office, manufacturing and distribution center.
