Joann Fabrics and Crafts Closing All Stores

Joann Fabrics and Crafts is officially shutting down all 790+ of its locations nationwide after filing for bankruptcy—again. If you’re a fan of crafting, sewing, or home décor, this is a big deal.

Going-Out-of-Business Sales Have Begun – But Are the Deals Any Good?

Going-out-of-business sales have already started, but don’t expect jaw-dropping deals just yet. So far, discounts are hovering around 30-40%, with select fabrics marked down to 60%. Christmas items are seeing the steepest cuts at 80% off, but that’s still lower than what some stores offered in January. The longer you wait, the better the deals might get—but you also risk finding empty shelves.

Gift Cards and Returns: What you Need to Know Before Shopping

A big heads-up for anyone holding a Joann gift card: The company has stopped accepting returns, and gift cards will soon be worthless if the bankruptcy court allows it. Also, online orders? No longer an option.

Want Store Fixtures and Displays?  They’re for Sale Too

What about the stores themselves? Everything inside is up for grabs. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are all being sold off, so if you need display racks or shelving, this might be your chance.

When Will the Sales End?

As for how long you have to shop, the liquidation sale is expected to last around 12 weeks, wrapping up by the end of May—or sooner if inventory runs out. If you’ve been meaning to stock up on yarn, fabric, or crafting supplies, now’s the time to make your move. See the full list of Joann stores scheduled to close here.

The initial group of stores that have begun their closing sales will close on March 30th, while the remaining locations will close by May 1st. Also, if you have gift cards, they will be valid until April 15th, but I’d recommend using them as soon as you can!

Big Lots Update: Stores Saved, Employees Retain Jobs!

Big Lots fans, there’s a twist! While the company announced going-out-of-business sales earlier, there’s now good news. Big Lots has agreed to transfer many assets to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC. As a result, 200-400 stores could remain open, with employees keeping their jobs!

Gordon Brothers, known for brands like Roses Express and Maxway, operates primarily in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Though specific store locations haven’t been confirmed, it’s likely these areas will see stores stay open.

This agreement is still pending approval from the Bankruptcy Court, but it’s a hopeful development. High inflation and interest rates had pushed Big Lots into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September. Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge!
