From Forbes:
"Started chain of arts-and-crafts stores with $600 loan in 1972. Prefers retrofitting old stores to new construction; eschews bar codes, as middlemen eat profits. Today Hobby Lobby operates 360 stores, most west of the Mississippi. Devout Christian put up $30 million to finance faith-based movies produced by son, Mart. Lives to spread the Word. "We feel like we have an answer for 'Why?' To change lives for eternity."
