Joann to Shut Down All Stores Following Asset Sale
February 25, 2025 - 05:39
In a significant shift for the fabric and crafts retail industry, Joann has announced that it has reached an agreement to sell its assets and will proceed with winding down its operations. This decision comes after the company previously revealed plans to close approximately 500 of its stores across the nation.
The decision to close all remaining locations marks a challenging chapter for the chain, which has been a staple for crafting enthusiasts and DIY hobbyists for years. The closure will impact thousands of employees and loyal customers who have relied on Joann for their fabric and crafting needs.
As the company prepares for this transition, it is expected that the liquidation process will begin soon, with details regarding the timeline and specific store closures to be communicated to the public. The announcement has raised concerns about the future of craft retail and the availability of supplies for creative projects as the market adjusts to this major change.
