Hobby lobby storefront Hobby Lobby is temporarily closing all stores in response to the COVID-19 pandemic after reopening despite stay-at-home orders across the country.
The remainder of the stores will be closed and nearly all store employees will be furloughed without pay, effective Friday, April 3 at 8 p.m., according to a statement on the store's website.
The closures will be effective until further notice. The company will also be ending emergency leave pay and suspending use of company-provided paid time off benefits, but will maintain and will pay the cost of employee premiums for medical, dental, life, and long-term disability benefits.
