Hobby Lobby Reopens<br />as an 'Essential Business' In areas with stay-at-home orders in place, arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby has reopened as an "essential business." The company has argued that the store provides <br />educational materials, items to make masks and supplies <br />for at-home small businesses. The move comes as retailers across the country <br />have closed down in compliance with orders <br />related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, Hobby Lobby founder David Green addressed the roughly 43,000 employees that work in 46 states. David Green, via statement
