I’ve been a loyal customer with my son for about a year now & have a membership account. We are not medically able to wear a mask & made the guy working aware of that & were not allowed in the shop. The train in the window doesn’t work & no one seems to actually know anything about trains. I won’t be back because any shop that is RUDE to as loyal 3 YEAR OLD CUSTOMER that drove 2 hours here doesn’t deserve our patronage. 

Business response:

Hi Abby, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, however there is a mandatory mask ordinance in Iowa City right now and we're doing our best to protect our customers and employees. We do have free masks available at counter, however If you are unable to wear a mask and would like to shop send me an email at Tim@hobbycorner.biz or call the store (319-338-1788) and i would be happy to work out a time to allow you in the store outside of our normal business hours.
