"Hobby Lobby locations across the Denver area were open to shoppers Monday despite the statewide stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Jared Polis last week mandating all non-critical businesses shutter until April 11.

The chain’s decision to stay open in the face of coronavirus social-distancing orders hasn’t gone unnoticed on social media.

Employees from locations nationwide have been outspoken on Twitter, claiming the company exploits loopholes in orders similar to Colorado’s to stay open. People have shared photos of signs posted at Hobby Lobby stores that say they’re essential businesses because they sell materials for making personal protective equipment and homeschooling supplies.

In Colorado, though, the answer is clear: Hobby Lobby and other crafty outfitters like it are not essential under Polis’ public health order."


I don't understand why they are allowed to stay open. If the AG is doing his job, he should shut them down.
This is par for the course for them, maybe even a step up considering that they've been caught smuggling in Middle Eastern black market archaeological artifacts for their Bible museum.

Really? I must admit I wouldn't put anything past this company.

At least most of their artifacts turned out to be counterfeits. A store I will never set foot in.

I didn’t know Hobby Lobby was owned by an extremist. DH was surprised I hadn’t known earlier.

Thanks to all for the above links. I haven’t set foot in one of them in at least ten years, and now I intend to make it a forever policy!

I didn't know about the artifacts or bible museum 'whew' but did know about their fight not to cover birth control in employees' health insurance.

No Hobby Lobby anywhere near where I lived in New England or maybe it was in a mall or somewhere I didn't go. I did read about the birth control.

No Hobby Lobbies anywhere near me. We also can’t buy paper copies of The Denver Post and refuse to get a subscription, so some news falls through the cracks. Heck, when I looked at a major city’s newspaper this winter, I had no idea there were so many new movies out...

Podunk, yup. But after grocery shopping today, I felt very, very happy to go home to our quiet, naturally-socially-distanced abode. The photos of all those people crowding trails and parking lots near big cities, YIKES.
