About this Location

Facility Overview

The Hobby Lobby Parking Lot at 12386 Felch Street offers expansive, open-air surface parking located in the bustling commercial corridor of Holland Charter Township, Michigan. Serving Hobby Lobby (Store #333) and neighboring retail spaces within the retail strip just off West Shore Drive, this lot is engineered for effortless vehicle maneuvering, straightforward parking, and high-turnover retail convenience. The surface layout features wide driving lanes, standard angled-and-perpendicular parking bays, and direct, step-free access to store entrances.

Because this is a completely uncovered ground-level asphalt facility, there are no vertical clearance ceilings or overhead overhang restrictions. Standard sedans, crossover utility vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with roof racks, rooftop cargo boxes, or bicycle mounts can enter and park without obstruction. The perimeter perimeter apron also accommodates larger utility vehicles and commercial delivery vans with ease.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While parking is complimentary and abundant on standard weekdays, the retail corridor sees heightened traffic on Saturday afternoons and during seasonal retail sales periods. As Hobby Lobby stores remain closed on Sundays, the lot experiences minimal traffic on that day, making it particularly tranquil. If you are hauling large purchases or furniture, park along the wider drive aisles closer to the loading doors for easier vehicle loading. When exiting back onto US-31 during the evening rush hour (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM), consider turning toward West Shore Drive or James Street to utilize signal-controlled intersections for an easier left turn.
