I love Joanne stores quite a lot and nothing will ever replace them for me. No other store can compare or compete with them, none I say. So in turn nothing can nor will replace the Joanne store in Foothill Ranch. It closed and I miss it.

Jo-Ann Fabric closed this store. I'm not sure when they did it but I think that I can safely say that this store is gone forever. I noticed that they have been closing a lot of stores last year. Maybe it happened then?

I am so upset over this. I had no clue that they have closed their store in Orange on Tustin Street. Does anyone here know why they closed that store and when they have closed it? I would appreciate any information you can give me.

Such a huge fan of this JOANN store and especially of their employees who are so down to earth and friendly and ever ready to help a ditz like me out whenever I needed it (and I needed it a lot). So sad that they closed.

JOANN Fabric and Crafts was the first arts and craft chain I first fell in love with. Now the relationship is a bit hot-and-cold and much more complicated than it was decades ago, but I put my complex feelings about them aside and I have to say that... — read more 

The store shuttered this September. Nothing can be done about it but I can say is that it's just very disappointing that Jo-Ann for some reason choose to shutter the incredibly sweet Jo-Ann store located on 75 Colma Blvd in Colma, Calif.

Lovely store. Shame.

Jo-Ann is no longer open here if I remember correctly. I never had the pleasure to shop at this store in Arcadia but I only heard positive things about it. I like Jo-Ann and I respect their business practices. It is a shame that they have to close... — read more 

In my view, what held this JOANN back in this location was incompetence. Their staff was either not trained enough or they didn't care. I am not saying that that's the reason why they closed here, but either way that was their biggest issue.

I have seen no announcement explaining why the Jo Ann in Hemet, Calif. had shuttered. Does anyone know anything about this? It was the store at E Florida Avenue and if I remember correctly it was always a bustling store.

This is the store that I meant. Will it be shuttering this year or the next? Will it be shuttering at all? I would hate to see it go since their prices are always fair and their selection is so great. It would be a great loss for Hoover if it would... — read more 

Will Jo-Ann in Hoover at 1709 Montgomery Hwy S be shuttering anytime soon? Does anyone by any chance know what will be happening to this darling store? I hope it won't be going anywhere but I am uncertain. Anything could happen.

Whoever made the decision to close probably the best Jo-Ann store in the country is the opposite of business savvy! Why would you close such a great store that is obviously having customers - loyal ones at that! Everyone loved the Salt Lake City... — read more 

Any news regarding potential JOANN closures? Things have been very quiet lately. That's a good sign, right?

I wouldn't ever imagine my kid-self thought that she would be working for Joann for so long as an adult but I cannot stress enough the fact on how a great job this is. I'm so lucky. There are no layoffs (that I'm aware of yet) and those who do leave... — read more 

I am not certain if this old news to some, all I know is that it wasn't to me. Not saying I was surprised (I wasn't, this location wasn't their greatest hit), just that I did not know that Joann has closed in Yuma Arizona a couple of months ago.

is joann fabrics closing stores or are they just remodelling

Are they planning anything with this location? I hope it's nothing nefarious. Joann is an exemplary business and they should continue to cultivate this greatness, rather than going backwards and cutting stores.

Things have been too calm around here - should I be worried that something is brewing?

This is what happens when you underestimate the importance of good cashiers. I believe the long lines could have been one of the reasons this Jo-Ann in Dublin, California closed recently. It's a pity, I really love Jo-Ann.

Jo-Ann stores are doing relatively well, considering the current state of retail. I just wish they would add more to their selection. I always feel like Jo-Ann stores are missing something. Maybe some changes are in order?

This Joann Fabrics store closed not so long ago. They were in dire need of cashiers, but I think they didn't resolve that issue since they closed here in Dublin, CA. Were they saving on money by not hiring people to work at the cash register?... — read more 

Please do not close all stores. In Peoria Il it is the only big fabric store we have. I have been a customer ever since it opened. Even worked there part time for a while about 15 years ago.

Jo-Ann Fabric store closed in Bluefield, Va. It was located there for almost 20 years, and surely a lot of its regular customers are sad to have it closed. Jo-Ann's is known for quality fabrics and craft supplies, as well as very friendly service.

Is this store closing? Yesterday when I went shopping, the store was terribly depleted in all areas. Schmetz sewing machine needles, quilt supplies, fabrics, nowhere in sight. Sewing pattern catalogues took forever to be updated. Such a... — read more

Who has a list of stores that Jo-Ann will be closing here in California? I really need to figure this out, if you have the list.

i work there we r busy

That's my hunch - Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft will shut down many stores due to the Amazon effect - a lot of hobby people shop on Amazon
