Waaayyyy WAAAAYYYYY better than JoAnn's IMHO :) They started in OK, corporate HQ in Oklahoma City. They're Christian owned and their employees are treated very well. They start at $10 an hour. Last Christmas, for a bonus, all employees received $100 for every year they've worked there. I know several who've been happily employed by Hobby Lobby for many years.
I've found their home decor fabrics selection to be fabulous. They carry Debbie Mumm Fabrics and I enjoy those. Their home decor section is wonderful and they very often have 50% off all wall decor or lamps, for example. I can always find things I love for my home. It truly is one of my favorite stores and I think you'll enjoy having one in your town :)
