Hobby Lobby announced Friday that it will close all its stores across the country and furlough nearly all employees without pay after the company initially refused to close locations where strict stay-at-home orders were ordered in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

A statement on the company’s website said Hobby Lobby will “close the remainder of its stores, and furlough nearly all store employees and a large portion of corporate and distribution employees, effective Friday, April 3rd, at 8:00 p.m. The stores will remain closed until further notice.”

On Wednesday night, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost issued a cease and desist to Hobby Lobby in response to its refusal to close stores in the state amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Hobby Lobby complied and said it would close stores the same night.
