Lobbying to bring Hobby Lobby to Placerville


 

 

This blogpost is about my idea for a Hobby Lobby store for the town of Placerville, CA. I am proposing it to be in the Kmart building to replace Kmart at 3968 Missouri Flat Road.   

To give you a glimpse of what Hobby Lobby is like, this is what they normally offer their customers:

·         Home Decor and Frames

·         Scrapbooks and Paper Crafts

·         Crafts and Hobbies

·         Fabric and Sewing

I think Hobby Lobby would be a great fit for Placerville because I believe there is a need for an arts and crafts store in Placerville.  I really like Hobby Lobby because of their wide selection of home decor and their different things they have. 

The Kmart space is 86,414 SF.  Hobby Lobby prefers to have 55,000 SF stores, which would leave 31,414 SF of the space available for another retailer or Hobby Lobby could open a Mardel Christian Store in that remaining space.

The Placerville trade area:

5-mile radius from center: 34,134 people

10-mile radius from center: 85,332 people

15 mile radius from center: 127,869 people

Hobby Lobby prefers to have stores in areas where there are 50,000 people close by to shop at Hobby Lobby.

Average Traffic on Highway 50: 52,000 cars per day

Average Traffic on Missouri Flat Road: 31,499 cars per day

The average income for area is: $82,610

If you want to shop at Hobby Lobby, or if you have already shopped at Hobby Lobby this Christmas season, and want to shop there again, I would encourage you to shop at the Roseville store on Douglas Boulevard, the closest one to Placerville. It is a fun store to shop at and I would encourage you to shop there or at any Hobby Lobby location you visit.  For more information about Hobby Lobby, they have a website: www.hobbylobby.com

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16
