Hobby
Lobby began operation August 3, 1972 with 300 square feet of retail
space, located in North Oklahoma City. This was a retail outgrowth
of Greco Products, a miniature picture frame company, founded by
David Green in 1970. In January 1973, the operation was moved to a
house near N.W. 23rd and Western, and the amount of retail space was
increased to approximately 1,000 square feet.
Over the years this modest beginning has grown into 434 stores which
operates in 35 states.
