At Gladstone Savers, the craft-curious and treasure hunters find more than standard supplies. What began as a small entrepreneurial venture by two Delta County teenagers has grown into a shop where items come in constantly and change often. Owners Emma Bowden and Maycee Kuhlman started by sourcing pallets of mixed merchandise, pricing items at significant discounts and selling them via social channels before expanding into a storefront that offers a mix of seasonal goods, home décor and odds-and-ends that appeal to makers and bargain seekers alike. This unconventional model means every visit can feel like a new discovery, and locals appreciate the personality and hustle behind the business.
Hobby Lobby in Escanaba brings a wide selection of arts and crafts essentials under one roof. As part of a national craft and home décor chain, this store stocks materials for scrapbooking, knitting, painting, jewelry making and more, alongside seasonal décor and custom framing services, making it a comprehensive source for projects of all kinds. The Escanaba location carries the same variety found in other Hobby Lobby stores, including fabric by the yard, needle arts tools, kids’ craft kits and party supplies that help crafters prepare for every holiday and event. Locals frequently note the breadth of inventory and the ability to find both everyday crafting basics and more specialized items in one place.
