GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- The president of Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is sharing his company's story this week at Bob Jones University.

The Oklahoma City-based company employs about 20,000 people nationwide, with about 520 stores. Total sales for 2012 totaled more than $3 billion.

Bob Jones says Green is also talking about Passages, a traveling exhibit of about 400 biblical antiquities. The exhibit is currently on display through March 30 in Charlotte, N.C.
