In January, the JOANN twice filed for bankruptcy, following a decline in business due to factors like online competition and evolving customer habits. As part of the bankruptcy, the Ohio-based fabric and craft chain closed roughly 500 of its 850 locations nationwide; including three in Alabama:

  • Florence – 354 Cox Creek Parkway
  • Montgomery – 7951 Eastchase Parkway
  • Tuscaloosa – 1702 Veterans Memorial Parkway

Today, JOANN announced it will be closing all stores as part of the liquidation process, including the two remaining Alabama locations:

According to a JOANN’s press release, customers will be able to purchase items at substantial discounts during the going-out-of-business sale.
