Another bankruptcy driven by private equity.
Grrr. That leaves Hobby Lobby for brick and mortar. 🤬
And Michaels, I suppose.
Mine doesn’t sell fabric. :(
The one near me does but admittedly their selection is kind of crap.
Walmart does also in select locations, with the same problem. (That, and finding someone to help you there is nigh impossible. On balance, you could also just grab the entire skein of whatever you wanted and leg it; it’s doubtful anyone there would notice or care.)
Probably because market demand was too low. Check and see what other sources of bulk fabric there are in the area. Definitely check for wholesale places.
If there was a Jo-Ann’s down the street, there will be more incentive to offer fabrics now.
I’ll always remember Joann as the only retailer who sent me marketing emails with no unsubscribe button.
I used to do tech support with them as a client. Worst IT team to work with, they were always impatient jerks. I never did figure out if the company hired shitty people in the first place or just treated them like dirt with no outlet for their stress except outside vendors.
- Can I still use my JOANN gift card?
• All JOANN stores will be accepting gift cards through February 28
So, they can’t give a timeline on anything else, and it’s all subject to court approval, but they can just cancel all of the gift cards in 4 days? That is bullshit.
Just one of the many reasons why gift cards are terrible and should be avoided whenever possible.
When Toys R Us went bankrupt, my son had just been born. We’d been gifted a bunch of babies r us gift cards for the baby shower. I went the day the bankruptcy was announced and just went ape on diapers and wipes. Didn’t have to buy any for like 6 months. They cancelled the gift cards like a month later.
I’m not one for sewing at all but my wife is crafty and Joann’s was always a fun trip. What a shame, gonna miss that place a lot.
Unfortunately crafts is a rich persons hobby these days. When people don’t have money they’re not spending much on their hobbies.
I bet both employees are heartbroken.
Even if they ran these stores on skeleton crews of like 3 people per store which would be insane, that’s still 2400 people losing their jobs
Yeah, sorry. Joke was in bad taste.
I meant to poke fun at how horribly managed the stores were and not at the people who worked there.
