Will carry Jewish merchandise in some stores after a New Jersey blogger complained about a lack of Hanukkah items, the company's president said Friday. The company said the items will be sold in stores in New York and New Jersey. The change came about after Ken Berwitz wrote a scathing blog post about how he would never visit a Hobby Lobby store after an employee told him the chain doesn't stock Jewish merchandise because the Green family is Christian. "In fact, some Hobby Lobby stores have stocked a few Hanukkah items in the past, and the chain is apparently considering stocking more Jewish merchandise in the future as they expand into more culturally diverse markets."
