Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a major Oklahoma City-based corporation began as Greco,
a miniature picture frame company in 1970. When David Green moved his business
from the family garage to a 300 square-foot retail space in 1972, Hobby Lobby was
born. It is now the nation’s largest privately owned arts and crafts retailer.
