No, Hobby Lobby currently has no presence at all in Canada. The company neither has physical retail locations, nor does it deliver to Canada, either.
Hobby Lobby operates exclusively in the United States as of 2026, in the 48 contiguous states (in other words, not Alaska or Hawaii). However, Canadians looking to buy craft supplies do have several alternative options.
Does Hobby Lobby Have Stores in Canada?
No, Hobby Lobby is a US-only operation, with more than 1000 stores across the continental United States.
The situation in Canada is similar to the UK, which also lacks the Hobby Lobby chain.
What is the Canadian Equivalent of Hobby Lobby?
As Hobby Lobby sells home décor and seasonal products in addition to craft supplies, there isn’t one perfect stand in. However, there are some options.
Michaels
Irving, Texas based Michaels does exist in Canada, where it has locations in all 10 provinces. However, it doesn’t operate in any of Canada’s 3 territories.
DeSerres
DeSerres is a Montreal-founded chain that sells art and creative hobby supplies. It also sells school supplies.
The company only has stores in 4 provinces. These are:
- Quebec
- Ontario
- British Columbia
- Nova Scotia
However, it does ship from its online store more widely in Canada, although pricing may vary.
Before placing an order, check the shipping fees in your area. Free delivery is mostly offered on orders above $89 Canadian (pre-tax), to customers in Ontario and Quebec, and $149 in the other 8 provinces.
This means that Michaels may be the cheaper option if you live in Alberta, PEI, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Newfoundland and Labrador and can’t get to a physical DeSerres store.
Customers in BC and Nova Scotia may also benefit from shopping in store if possible, to avoid the higher minimum order thresholds.
You can find the full DeSerres shipping policy on their website. This breaks down the thresholds for free delivery, as well as shipping fees where they do apply, and fees for oversized items in each province and territory.
Note that Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and the Yukon don’t appear to have free shipping at all, although DeSerres will deliver normal and oversized items to the territories.
Where Can Canadians Buy Craft Supplies?
Canada-based crafters can buy from Michaels if they live in one of the provinces.
For residents of Quebec and Ontario in particular, DeSerres is another very good option for hobby related gear.
You can also find materials and supplies in online retailers such as Amazon, as well as on specialist websites.
What About Shopping in the US?
If you live close to the US border, you may be able to do some cross-border shopping!
You can check out our guide to Hobby Lobby Locations near the US border to see whether there are any stores that are viable for you to get to.
Whilst this may not be the most convenient long term solution, it can work for an occasional trip, or if you are lucky enough to live very close to a crossing.
