Oregon craft lovers may want to begin stocking up on supplies, as fabric and crafting store JOANN is set to close more than half of its U.S. locations.
Following the filing of its second bankruptcy, JOANN plans to close more than 500 of its 850 locations, including 15 stores in Oregon.
Here’s what to know about the stores closing in Oregon.
Why is JOANN closing?
In a statement to USA Today, the retailer said “right-sizing its store footprint” is the most critical move going forward.
“This was a very difficult decision to make, given the major impact we know it will have on our Team Members, our customers and all of the communities we serve,” JOANN’s statement said. “A careful analysis of store performance and future strategic fit for the Company determined which stores should remain operating as usual at this time.”
While the chain did not release an official list to the public, it did submit locations slated to close to the court as part of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. Court documents list 533 stores across 49 states on the chopping block.
