Hobby Lobby Coming To Morris County, Takes Over Former Bed Bath & Beyond: Report

EAST HANOVER, NJ — Hobby Lobby is coming to Morris County and will occupy a former Bed, Bath & Beyond store on Route 10, according to reports.

Commercial realty publication CoStar reported that the arts and crafts retailer has leased the building at 180 Route 10 in East Hanover, which is about 50,000 square feet. There is not an expected opening date, though renovations are reportedly underway; the standalone building is near several other retailers and the Funplex family amusement center.

Hobby Lobby has 15 other stores in the Garden State including in Totowa, Paramus, and Springfield and a total of more than 1,000 stores across the U.S. The Oklahoma City-based company offers arts and crafts supplies, home decor, holiday and seasonal products, and supplies for other artistic hobbies and endeavors.

Hobby Lobby is owned by a Christian family, and stores are closed on Sundays "to allow our employees and customers more time for worship and family."

The company is hiring a retail co-manager for the East Hanover position, according to an online posting. As of April 24, that appears to be the only job opening currently available at this forthcoming store.
