LEFT: People who enjoy arts and crafts, more popular than ever during the stay-at-home pandemic, are excited over the first Hobby Lobby coming to the area. Here, workers erect a sign Monday over the entrance to what was once Kmart at Laurel Mall in Hazle Township. Hobby Lobby is expected to open here Jan. 22, along with Planet Fitness, bringing 100 new jobs. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
