In what state can you find the headquarters for Hobby Lobby?

Hobby Lobby’s headquarters are located in Oklahoma, specifically Oklahoma City. The arts-and-crafts retailer was founded there and has maintained its corporate base in the state.

Founder David Green opened the first Hobby Lobby store in northwest Oklahoma City in 1972. The business began with a small amount of borrowed capital and a modest retail space, then expanded into a nationwide chain selling craft supplies, home décor, fabric, seasonal merchandise, and hobby products.

Oklahoma City remains closely associated with the company’s operations. In addition to its corporate offices, the area has hosted major distribution and manufacturing facilities supporting Hobby Lobby’s stores across the United States. The company’s roots in the city are one reason Oklahoma is the canonical state answer, rather than simply naming its headquarters city.

Hobby Lobby is also known for its privately held ownership and its Christian-oriented business policies. It attracted national attention through a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court case concerning employer objections to certain contraceptive coverage requirements under federal law.
