Which businesses were involved in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.?

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. was a consolidation of two separate legal challenges brought by for-profit corporations seeking exemptions from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act contraceptive mandate.1

The businesses involved were:

• Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.: An arts-and-crafts retail chain owned by the Green family.1
• Mardel Christian & Education Stores, Inc.: A chain of Christian bookstores also owned by the Green family.1
• Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation: A woodworking company owned by a Mennonite family.1

These corporations argued that the federal mandate, which required them to provide health insurance coverage for certain contraceptive methods they believed to be abortifacients, violated their rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that closely held for-profit corporations could be considered "persons" capable of exercising religion and were therefore entitled to seek such exemptions.21
