Hobby Lobby began operation in August 1972 with 300 square feet of retail space, located in North Oklahoma City. This was a retail outgrowth of Greco Products, a picture frame company, founded by David Green in 1970. Hobby Lobby now has 578 stores. Its stores stock more than 65,000 items including arts and crafts supplies, fashion fabrics, baskets, silk flowers, party supplies and furniture.
