One-third of all Joann fabric and craft stores will be closed by the end of Monday, with the rest of the retailer’s locations expected to shut down next month.
Most Joann locations began going-out-of-business sales after the company filed for bankruptcy in January 2025 and all of the chain’s assets were won by retail liquidator GA Group and Joann’s term lenders in a February 2025 auction.
Those sales will be ending soon at dozens of locations, if they haven’t already. Monday, April 28 marks the final day of business for 112 Joann stores, the last portion of 255 total stores that shuttered in the final days of the month, according to Jo Anne McCusker, a GA Group spokesperson.
The more than 500 stores that remain are scheduled to close by the end of May, as previously announced in February by Scott Carpenter, CEO of GA Group’s Retail Solutions and Wholesale & Industrial Solutions teams, to the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Here’s a look at all the Joann stores are scheduled to close Monday, in addition to the stores that have already ceased operations in April.
