Hobby Lobby Opens for Holiday Shopping with Adjusted Labor Day Hours

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 1, 2025 - Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. welcomed customers for Labor Day with a special operating schedule today. The crafts and home-decor retailer, which normally closes on Sundays, opened its doors from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. across all U.S. locations to accommodate holiday shoppers.

Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September, traditionally honors the contributions of American workers. In recent years, many retailers have shifted their holiday operations to balance festive consumer demand with employee wellbeing. Hobby Lobby’s decision to adjust-but not suspend-its hours aligns with that broader retail trend, enabling shoppers to take advantage of limited-time discounts and the chain’s annual Early Holiday Clearance sale featuring up to 50 percent off Christmas ornaments, wrapping paper, and seasonal craft supplies.

Despite closing on Sundays and four other major holidays (Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day), Hobby Lobby has repeatedly opted to stay open on Labor Day. Company leadership cites the opportunity to serve loyal patrons eager to prepare for upcoming holidays without overextending staff. Shoppers visiting local stores today found a wide array of discounted items, from home-decor essentials to DIY craft materials, all available at the holiday-hour price schedule.

For customers planning last-minute visits, Hobby Lobby’s online store locator remains available to confirm individual store times and available promotions. The retailer’s approach underscores its commitment to both workforce appreciation and customer service during one of the summer’s final major shopping weekends.
