Joann fabric and craft stores launch liquidation sales as closures begin
Liquidation sales at Joann fabric and craft stores began on February 15, as the company prepares to close hundreds of locations. Discounts started at 20%, with some items, like Christmas merchandise, marked down by 60%. Sales will vary by store, and there is no set end date for the liquidation. Some stores may close sooner and transfer remaining stock to others. Gift cards will be accepted in stores until the end of February, but they cannot be used online. Long wait times for fabric cutting have been reported.
