Another Popular Craft Store Closing All Idaho Locations

Joann Fabrics Closing Stores Nationwide, Including All Idaho Locations

Joann Fabrics, the popular craft and fabric retailer, is officially shutting down all locations, including stores in Twin Falls, Boise, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello. The company confirmed that going-out-of-business sales have already begun as part of a nationwide liquidation process.

What Led to Joann’s Closure?

Following a sale process and auction, GA Group and the Prepetition Term Loan Agent have been selected as the winning bidder to acquire Joann’s assets. The company explored multiple options to stay in business but ultimately decided to shut down.

I reached out to a media contact with the company, who confirmed in a statement that all locations will be closing. They went on to say that they are working to ensure an orderly wind-down of operations while minimizing the impact on employees and customers.

Will Joann Stores and the Website Remain Open?

For now, Joann stores, Joann.com, and the mobile app will remain open while liquidation sales take place. The company expects final store closures to occur over the next several weeks, but exact closure dates have not been confirmed.

What Does This Mean for Customers?

Customers can still shop in stores and online while inventory lasts. However, some major policy changes are in effect:

• Gift Cards: Joann will accept gift cards through February 28. After this date, gift cards will no longer be valid.
• Discounts: While liquidation pricing will be available, personalized discounts for groups such as teachers, military, and healthcare workers are paused.
• Returns: Joann is not accepting returns on any purchases during the going-out-of-business sale.

• Twin Falls: 840 Blue Lakes Blvd N
• Boise: 1085 N. Milwaukee St & 3275 S. Federal Way
