Opening date set for Jackson Crossing Hobby Lobby

JACKSON, Mich. (WILX) - The Hobby Lobby being built at Jackson Crosssing Mall is now scheduled to open in May.

The Jackson location has been in the works for some time. They’ve signed a lease at Jackson Crossing, putting them in the space formerly occupied by a SEARS.

According to a company representative, the new store is expected to open May 30, 2022.

There are Hobby Lobby locations throughout Michigan’s lower peninsula, including one in Lansing and another in East Lansing, but hobbyists in Jackson have been forced to drive to get their hobby supplies. At the end of May, those trips can get a lot shorter.

The new store is estimated to bring around 60 jobs to the area.
