The sign with the store«s name was removed from the porch
In Arkhangelsk, the craft supply store «Hobby Room» has closed; it was located in the building at Voskresenskaya Street, 6. Currently, the large premises remain empty.
Inside — it«s dark and empty
Back in August 2025, the store announced its imminent closure and liquidation of stock — visitors were offered paints, paper, stationery, and more at a 50% discount. In the fall, discounts reached up to 80%, and in December, «Hobby Room» ceased to exist.
In the last months of 2025, goods were sold here with large discounts
«It wasn»t just a store,« writes the store»s creator in the official VKontakte group. «It was a true magnet for creative, heartfelt, and artistic energy. And I am grateful to everyone who was part of this legend. But energy cannot remain static. It must flow, transform. And now I am letting go of this space so that a new story can be born within it.»
