Joann is closing all Miami and Broward locations. Will any Florida stores remain open?
Briefly

Joann, the popular fabric and quilting supply retailer, has announced it will close all of its 800 stores nationwide, including every location in South Florida. Initially, the company planned to close only half of its stores but later opted for a complete shutdown due to unsuccessful competition against rivals like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Joann filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection twice within a year, indicating deeper financial struggles. The company aims to minimize the impact of liquidations on stakeholders as it winds down operations.
