(Jamie Rokus, Marshfield News-Herald) The wait is almost over. A representative for Hobby Lobby told the Marshfield News-Herald Friday the new store in the redeveloped Marshfield Mall is expected to open in mid-February.

According to Jamie Rokus with the Marshfield News Herald, an exact opening date is not yet available. The representative said the company is looking forward to being part of the Marshfield community.

Hobby Lobby is an arts and crafts retail store that offers a variety of home decor, floral items, art supplies, yarn, fabric, jewelry making supplies and more. The company opened its first store in Oklahoma City in 1970 and has grown to operate in 48 states, including 25 stores in Wisconsin, according to its website.

The company first confirmed to the News-Herald in February 2023 that it would be moving into the former Marshfield Mall and said they anticipated opening in early 2024. This will be the third retailer to open at the former mall site since redevelopment plans were announced in 2022.

Five Below opened in July in the former Younkers space. Ross Dress for Less opened next door in October. Anchor stores Ashley Furniture, Kohl's and Harbor Freight remain open. World Buffet reopened April 1 in its new location across from Ashley Furniture.
