Hobby store

Hobby store

A hobby store is a place dedicated to the selling of things that people usually employ for their personal satisfaction. Hobby stores were traditionally popular with men and children, but today many hobby stores today cater to women's interests too.

Typical items to be found at hobby stores include model airplanes (both military craft and airliners), train models, ship models, house and building models, dolls, coins, stamps, crafting supplies, specialty magazines and sometimes even flowers and small animals.

A specific type of a store is a game store.

One example of hobby store is Hobby Lobby, a craft and hobby superstore.
