WASHINGTON – Joann, the struggling fabric and crafts retailer, announced Wednesday it will close approximately 500 stores across the United States, including many in Maryland and Virginia.
The decision comes during a challenging period for the company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. This marks Joann’s second bankruptcy filing within a year, citing issues such as weak consumer demand and inventory shortages as contributing factors.
Recent financial challenges prompt bankruptcy filings
Previously, Joann sought Chapter 11 protection in March 2024 and reemerged as a private company.
However, continued operational challenges led to a second bankruptcy filing in January. Joann is now aiming to sell the business and has stated that closing “underperforming” locations is essential to facilitate this process.
