Popular Craft Store Closing All Locations in ID, UT, and WA

Joann Fabrics Closing All Locations in Idaho, Utah, and Washington

Joann Fabrics, a longtime craft and sewing retail staple, is officially shutting down all locations, including stores in Idaho, Utah, and Washington. The company confirmed that going-out-of-business sales have already begun as part of a nationwide liquidation process.

What Led to Joann’s Closure?

Following a bankruptcy auction, GA Group and the Prepetition Term Loan Agent were selected as the winning bidder to acquire Joann’s assets. While they explored options to keep the business afloat, they ultimately decided to shutter all locations.

A Joann spokesperson confirmed in a statement that all locations will close, impacting stores across Idaho, Utah, and Washington, as well as the rest of the country.

What Does This Mean for Customers?

Joann stores, Joann.com, and the mobile app will remain open as liquidation sales continue. However, you should be aware of some key policy changes:

• Gift Cards: Joann will accept gift cards through February 28. After then, they will no longer be valid.
• Discounts: While liquidation pricing will be available, specific discounts like teachers, military, healthcare workers are paused.
• Returns: Joann is not accepting returns on any purchases during the going-out-of-business sale.
