We’ve got the latest updates on Joann Stores’ Closing.

In February, Joann announced it would be closing some of its stores, but it seems there is no escape a year after filing for bankruptcy. Joann is officially closing ALL of its 790+ locations nationwide. Note that Joann.online is also now closed to online orders, so you will need to shop in-store only.

The GA Group, together with the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, will acquire Joann’s assets and has already begun going out of business sales at all locations.

We are not seeing huge price drops in our stores yet, and some products are still only 10% off.  Most items are around 30-40% off, with some fabric being marked down to 60% off. Christmas items are only 80% off, while other stores already had Christmas for 90% off back in January.

We’ll keep checking and update you once we see the discounts increase in stores.

What prices are you seeing items marked down to at your local Joann’s?

What does Joann’s stores closing mean for shoppers?

  • Significant discounts on a wide assortment of crafting, sewing, and home décor products storewide. All sales are final during the closing sales event.
  • All furniture, fixtures, and equipment are also available for purchase.
  • Effective immediately, returns and gift cards will no longer be accepted.
  • Due to high demand, online orders can no longer be placed.

When does Joann’s going-out-of-business sale end?

The going-out-of-business sale is expected to last for approximately 12 weeks, until the end of May or until supplies last. So, if you’re considering stocking up on fabrics, yarn, and other crafting materials or decor, the sooner you can shop, the better. Shelves have already been picked through in many locations.

    Is there a way to see the list without downloading it to our phone?

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there, Vallarina! I was able to click the link, and it opens in a new tab on my browser when using a laptop. If you’re on a mobile device, the default setting for PDFs might be to download instead. You could try opening it in a different browser or checking your settings to see if there’s an option to view it online. Hope that helps! 😊📄

    This so sad. The one that was 45 minutes from me is closing and the only other one is over an hour and $25. in tolls to get to. It is hard to buy some fabrics and beads without seeing them in person.

  3. Cindy

    I’m so sad to see this! Seems all of the brick and mortar stores are closing! Our JoAnn, which was not in the original list of stores that would be closing, is next to where Big Lots was, so now we’ll have 2 closed stores right together 🙁 Times are sure changing

  4. TD

    Very sad! Fabrics and crafting materials are something one NEEDS to see and touch and feel before purchasing…but those days are almost over. More screen time, less human interaction. We are beonlineing robots, even those of us who try to avoid it.

    • jdoyle

      I onlinepletely agree! I’m a quilter and sometimes you need something specific and I have bought fabric online and it was either off in color or print scale. Now there’s only Hobby Lobby which I don’t like and Michaels has a limited amount of fabric but it is nice

    • Jody

      Micheals and hobby lobby do have fabric. But not at the deals Joann’s had them

  5. acgold

    Wow! They originally said they were keeping some stores open.. There is nowhere to buy fabric, buttons or sewing notions anymore. I agree that sometimes you need to see and touch. Color is hard to distinguish on line.

  6. Goldielocks

    So heartbreaking is all of the people losing their jobs. My local store has employees I have been seeing for years. One has been cutting fabric there for 19.5 years, close to retirement. My heart hurts for all of them and I hope they are able go find new jobs. It won’t be the same buying these things online.

    • jdoyle

      Since most were part time they can’t get unemployment either

  7. Robin Pross

    NO!! Not joann’s!! thats the only place here in my town that I can get fabric. I love Joann’s!! I got there alot. It will be a sad day when they close.

  8. jdoyle

    I’m really disappointed about this. I’m hoping that some other options will be onlineing in the future for us crafters. I went today and it’s heartbreaking. They say it might be a while because they have a warehouse full

  9. Laura

    I saw that it mentioned gift cards have to be used by today, February 28. Does anyone know if that is also true for store voucher cards since that would be more like cash? I’ll probably just call a couple of our stores around here to find out, but if anybody does know, please onlinement.

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Laura! I called my local store and they said that any gift card or store credit must be used by today. I would suggest that you still call your store before making the trip just to be sure. Hope this helps! 🤗

  10. Laura

    Thanks Trish- I appreciate you letting me know. I will make to use it tonight

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re most welonlinee! ❤️

  11. Karen I Ulatowski

    I just received a gift card this past Tuesday, a late Christmas present. I wasn’t able to see these people because of medical reasons. The card is for $35.00. I immediately went to Joann’s to use the card and was told they will no longer accept them. I have been an avid shopper ever since Joann’s opened and I taught sewing 101 for about eight years at the Madison Hights store. Is there any way my money can be reimbursed. Thank you, Karen Ulatowski

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      So sorry to hear that, Karen! 💕 That’s definitely frustrating, especially as a longtime shopper and former instructor. I’d reonlinemend reaching out to Joann’s customer service to see if they can help— you can email them at [email protected] Monday – Friday from 9 AM – 6 PM EST. Hoping they’re able to find a solution for you! 🤞💖

  12. KimNell

    FYI In WI I went yesterday and most items were only 10-20% off a smaller amount of 30%

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for letting us know what discounts you spotted. 💕 It does look like discounts have increased up to 40% off starting today. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for any further markdowns!

  13. M

    Just, FYI…Went there today, discounts 20 – 40 %, prices still higher than before the closing was announced.
    Fabric.. minimum 2 yards.

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for sharing the discount amounts at your location, M! 💗

  14. Marcia Makarenko

    Now they are saying that all the stores are closing and they won’t accept my gift cards. Don’t they have to honor gift cards already purchased? Is anyone else honoring Joann’s gift cards?

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Hey Marcia. So sorry. Joann’s did give a short-window of opportunity to redeem gift cards (through February 28th) after announcing the closure of all stores. We haven’t heard of any other retailers honoring the gift cards, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled. 🤞💗

  15. Mary

    Once the liquidation onlinepanies onlinees in, the discounts are low and slow. You might even see items from previous clients that were never sold at JoAnn.

  16. Saeah

    This makes me so sad. I have done a lot of shopping there over the years.
    What’s our options now? Walmart or online where everything is made in china.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question, Saeah! We did get many responses on Facebook when asking about alternatives, if those onlinements might be helpful to browse through. 🥰
