Do you like arts and crafts? Are you a Do It Yourself-er (DIYer) constantly looking for your next project? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions then you are in luck. Hobby Lobby is coming to White Sands Mall! White Sands Mall is located at 3199 N. White Sands Boulevard, just two miles north of downtown Alamogordo and north of many of the Alamogordo new homes communities we build in such as Hermosa El Sol, Las Lomas, Palo Duro, Silverado, and Valencia.

Hobby Lobby is the largest privately owned arts and crafts store in the country. First opening its doors in March 1982, this Oklahoma City, Oklahoma based corporation has more than 720 stores nationally, including 10 locations in the state of New Mexico. Hobby Lobby is expected to open its White Sands location in January 2018, making it the first Hobby Lobby store in Alamogordo. This location will be a 55,000 square foot standalone store located on the south side of White Sands Mall. Hobby Lobby will join the ranks of other national retailers at the mall including Bealls, Big Kmart, JC Penny, Payless Shoes, Sally Beauty Supply, and Zales Jewelers.

Hobby Lobby opening in Alamogordo is welcomed news for its residents. Alamogordo new homes residents will no longer have to travel to other locations throughout the state including Albuquerque, Clovis, Las Cruces, Roswell, and Santa Fe just to go to a Hobby Lobby. Hopefully this is just the beginning of national retailers coming to Alamogordo to expand its footprint.
