    i've heard this rumor off and on for a couple years..I think they're pulling out where they dont have enough business and focusing on "better" areas.

    I've they'd throw out some GOOD sales and not do walmart type clearances(the barely clearance deals) I think they'd do far better but they are 1 of few fabric places near(within 30 miles) me so i hope they wont close!!

    I can't imagine my local JoAnn's store closing anytime soon. Although they are in an older location, they are the only ones that specialize in fabrics, etc. and so even though a Michael's is a block away, there is no real threat that I can see as my Michael's location does not carry any types of fabrics at all.

    I always like Hancocks better myself so they could be in trouble, not sure. As PP mentioned that ours closed last year.

    In our town of 100,000, the only Jo-Ann's closed at least a handful of years ago. Not too much after that, the one 150 miles away in a town the same size closed as well. We are only left with Hancock's. They cost more, stink on in-store customer service (like having somebody available to cut fabrics or check out customers) and have crummier sales.

    Well, I can't tell you the last time that I went there and there wasn't a bunch of people in my Joann's... 2 people at the cutting counter and there's still a line. I

    Our JoAnn's is closing within the month :( When I worked there a few years ago, the rumor was that they were just keeping the small triad stores open long enough to help finance the super stores. I am very sad that they are closing, and the liquidation prices aren't even as good as I used to get stuff on sale there!

    I have a small Joann's right down the road from me that is having their 'store closing' sale. There are 2 other JoAnn's that are going to remain open, but they are much further away. Not sure I'll frequent the store anymore since I have a Michaels that is close.

My friend & I were able to catch the last day of the closing sale of the previous sale. Everything we purchased was 95% off! I will remember that day forever I'm pretty sure.

    There's another JoAnns (regular) here too that seems to be doing fine. It's been around forever too.

    Well, the "other" JoAnns that seemed to be doing fine is now going out of business. Actually, it's been going out of business for a while now - tomorrow's the last day! I definitely think the Super JoAnns are going to take over. =) They are quite nice.

    If your store opened back up after closing, then consider yourself lucky. As our store told us they were closing to relocate and never reopened so we no longer have one.
