I saw this earlier.  I have 2 stores close to me.  One in MD that is my favorite because it's a Super Joanns and one in Lancaster that is a much smaller store.  The store in Maryland is closing and I'm so sad.  I have frames, fabric and so many other items that I buy there.  The one in Lancaster is not very organized or clean so I won't be shopping there.  I've only been in it twice in 10 years when looking for Easter decor and artificial flowers.  It's a sad time for retail stores everywhere.

oh noooos!

The store that is literally 1 mile from my home is closing! I'm not surprised as I have watched the stock dwindle on the shelves lately, but it is still disappointing.

A lot of stores are closing and it's very sad.  I hate to see any business go under.  But I guess with the cost of renting/leasing properties and having stock and paying all the employees it's tough to compete with the online stores.  If companies don't move with the times this is what happens.  I never really shopped JoAnns because they were over half an hour away when we lived in Florida and the traffic was horrible.  It was hard to get in and out of the parking lot too and they never really had things I wanted.  I mostly shopped at AC Moore, Hobby Lobby and Michael's which were all within 15 minutes and very easy to get in and out of...

I am really bummed too.  It had to be mismanagement as there have been problems ordering online for a long time.  I actually had a choice of about 6 within an hour of me that I could have gone to and they are all closing.  A friend of mine works at the Viking Sewing Gallery inside the store and they may be in trouble now too since most of the Joanne's are closing that is where their main stores are is inside of Joannes.  I doubt the remaining Joannes will be around much longer.  Times sure are changing I've gone to Joannes for as long as I can remember.  I am not a fan of Hobby Lobby.  Online shopping it is then, I have a lot of options for fabrics online.....

AC Moore was my go-to until they closed! Now with Joanns closing I have to go a lot further to the closest Micheals. And, I'm not a Hobby Lobby fan so I'm REALLY gonna keep my fingers crossed that Micheals isn't next in line!!!
