Last call: See the Joann fabric stores closing in Washington by May 31
The ball of yarn is running out for an iconic fabric and craft retailer. Joann will permanently close all its stores by May 31, including its locations in Washington. Joann shuttered 255 locations in April, months after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time within a year. Since filing for bankruptcy, the company has held going-out-of-business sales at the locations. At those sales, prices are marked down 70% to 90%, according to (Note: sales on the online site have ended.) Stores are also selling the furniture, shelves, and equipment, according to the site. The more than 440 stores that remain will be closed by May 31, according to Jo Anne McCusker, a spokesperson for GA Group, the retail liquidator that won all of Joann's chain's assets through auction in February. USA TODAY published this table showing multiple Joann stores across Washington have been identified for closure by the end of May. See the hours of operation for the Washington locations on Joann's website. The Hudson, Ohio-based retailer, which has been in business since 1943, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time within a year and auctioned its remaining assets. On Feb. 22, retail liquidator GA Group and Joann's term lenders won the bidding for the company. An announcement that all Joann stores would close came days later, after the company initially announced the closures of "approximately 500" of its more than 800 locations across the U.S. GA Group has previously worked with Joann in buying House of Fabrics, a former competitor, in the late 1990s and helping increase the retailer's store footprints from 2006 to 2016, Scott Carpenter, CEO of GA Group's Retail Solutions, previously told the USA TODAY Network.

Joann to shutter remaining locations in Michigan this week. What to know
All Joann fabric and craft stories across the country, including in Michigan, will close permanently by May 31, USA TODAY reported, bringing an end to the 80-year company that entered bankruptcy earlier this year. Joann closed 14 Michigan stores in April and 255 others across the country, after filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2025, its second bankruptcy within a year. After all of Joann's assets were purchased in a February 2025 auction by retail liquidator GA Group and Joann's term lender, most locations began going-out-of-business sales. According to advertisements on the company website, the retail fabric, and arts and crafts store will close all of its locations by May 30. A representative of retail liquidator GA Group, however, told USA TODAY that the closing date is May 31. According to Joann's website, stores Michigan include: 600 Brown Road, Auburn Hills 8449 W.

Joann fabrics stores closing: See the full list of all remaining locations that will shutter this month
Fans of Joann have one last chance to grab fistfuls of fabric, yarn, and other critical sewing supplies before the ill-fated retailer closes for good—but time is running out. The beloved brand, which has been winding down operations after seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time, will close its last remaining stores at the end of May, meaning this is the last full weekend that they will be open for business. A spokesperson for GA Group, the asset firm that took control of Joann in February, shared the list of locations with Fast Company. It includes 444 stores in 45 states. At the time of its bankruptcy filing, Joann had roughly 800 locations, but hundreds of those stores closed in April, as Fast Company previously reported. Among the remaining stores, California has the most, with around 40 locations left. New York, Michigan, Texas, and Florida, and Arizona also have relatively large shares of stores on the list. Why did Joann fabrics unravel? Founded in 1943, Joann Inc. grew into a craft superstore with hundreds of locations in the ensuing decades as a publicly traded company. By the late 1990s, it was the country's largest fabric and crafts retailer. The company was taken private in 2011 by private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners for around $1.6 billion, only to go public again a decade later as the COVID-19 pandemic was fueling a resurgence of crafting and other at-home activities. But those good times didn't last, and the company eventually succumbed to a number of factors that have battered many physical retail chains in recent years, including high inflation and the broader shift to online shopping. When it filed for bankruptcy in January, it reported nearly $616 million in debt obligations. The remaining Joann stores have been holding going-out-of-business sales. According to GA Group, all stores will be closed by Saturday, May 31. You can find the full list below.
