Joann Fabrics and Crafts is closing all its remaining Wisconsin stores
All Joann Fabrics and Craft stores in Wisconsin are now set to close as the chain winds down operations nationwide, less than two weeks after it announced the shuttering of 16 locations across the state.
The craft supplies chain had initially announced the closure of 500 of its 850 locations across the U.S. on Feb. 12, after declaring bankruptcy in mid-January. The retailer first filed for bankruptcy in March 2024.
On Sunday, however, all company assets were acquired by GA Group and Joann's term lenders, according to a news release. Pending bankruptcy court approval, the new owners plan to "begin winding down the Company's operations and conduct going-out-of-business sales at all store locations," the release said.
