Hobby Lobby is set to open a new location in Kyle next year.

The city says that the arts and crafts retail chain will join several other retail and restaurant projects in the coming year opening in Kyle. 

"Our residents have been asking for a craft store for several years and we are happy to announce that Hobby Lobby will be officially coming to Kyle," Interim Economic Development Director Victoria Vargas said in a release. "Over the past several years, the city has been exceeding sales tax projections and this store will only add to the increased sales tax revenue for our community."
