HobbyTown (hobbytown.com/lincoln-s-ne) recently celebrated a historic double anniversary, marking 80 years of operations in Lincoln and the 20th anniversary of current owners Daniel and Chelsy Schmidt. The event, held at the HobbyTown Superstore at 70th & Pioneers, honored the business’s long standing legacy as a local hub of all things fun!
The celebration brought together a community of hobby enthusiasts, former staff, and previous owners to reminisce about the store’s evolution since “Chick Bartlett’s HobbyTown” first opened its doors downtown in 1946.
Throughout the anniversary weekend, attendees enjoyed several special features including a Memorabilia Showcase. This showcase featured a curated collection of memorabilia from HobbyTown’s eight decades in Lincoln allowing guests to look back at the HobbyTown’s rich history.
For over two decades, Daniel and Chelsy Schmidt have maintained HobbyTown’s reputation as Lincoln’s premiere destination for toys, games, and hobbies. The Superstore, located at 4107 Pioneer Woods Drive, continues to serve the community with its dedicated focus on “all things fun”.
