Hobby Lobby expects to open a new location at 3550 W. University Drive, Ste. 400, McKinney. An opening date for the 55,000-square-foot location has not been set; however, work at this location is expected to take 20 weeks from the beginning of construction to the installation of fixtures, Hobby Lobby's Communications Coordinator Bob Miller said in an email to Community Impact Newspaper. The nation’s largest privately owned arts and crafts retailer, Hobby Lobby has 100 franchise locations across Texas and 750 in the U.S. 1-800-888-0321. www.hobbylobby.com
