I read this news earlier today. I know that many Cuties are going to miss this chain of shops very much, if they are unable to stay open. I have heard many good things about Joanns. Fingers crossed that it remains open

Sounds like it's the lesser form of bankruptcy where they get rid of the unprofitable stores and re-emerge as a smaller, leaner, smarter profit-making chain. Hope it works.

I read that they will be closing a few stores in the East. I sure hope that is all.

Well judging by the lack of replies many of you are in deep shock
I first heard about this Thursday at my Bobbins group meeting. Then I went to Hobby Lobby Friday and the fabric cutter there told me. She used to work at JoAnns a year or so ago. She said the manager at JoAnns told her. Then of course it was official when it came on the news. I buy there and at Hobby Lobby, or order online.
Thanks for telling us this. I had no idea. I know we are all surprised by this news. We have lost so many great stores. Sad to see another in danger of closing.
I wonder what will happen to Husqvana Viking shop that's inside? My hubby just bought me the Designer Ruby 90.....
The local Joanns expanded to their current location prior to Covid. I'm not sure I can afford for them to "move" again.
