Joann Fabrics, a popular retailer of fabrics and crafts, is permanently closing all of its stores by May 30 following a second bankruptcy filing in 2025. With 800 locations having already been shut down, the company laid off 19,000 employees, including 15,000 part-time workers. The decline in sales and foot traffic, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic pressures, led to this decision. Many customers are expressing their sadness on social media, sharing memories and videos from their last visits as they bid farewell to a brand that has been around for over 80 years.
"Joann faced declining sales and foot traffic since the COVID-19 pandemic, as more Americans shop online and curb spending due to higher prices, inflation, and tariff wars."
"Customers have been taking to social media, posting tearfully and nostalgically about the time they spent in the store, sharing 'last haul' videos of their final purchases."
