Our store was another fabric store and then became JoAnn's. There were some yarn and craft selections but the store was at least 3/4 fabric. No longer - barely 1/2 the store is fabric and a lot of it is inferior stuff. When I want really cheap fabric, I got to Wal-Mart and get it for $1/yd.

They started out as Cloth World....that should tell you their original mainstay.....it has evolved into a craft, hobby, floral,scapbooking, storage container, baking, dorm room, framing, rubber stamping, jewelry making, wood craft, yard decor, greeting card, seasonal kitchen, store...hmmmm even I didn't realize the change until thinking about walking through the store.

I try to avoid Joann's at all costs, except when I can really use something (with a coupon, of course). There is a Hancock's real nearby, so I'd rather go there.
Oh, by the way, the Walmart closest to me is downsizing & a newer 1 doesn't handle fabric at all.

There is no way for 2 carts to pass in the aisles at this JoAnn's. It isn't even comfortable for two peole to pass. It is degrading for it tells the customer that all they care about is having more stuff and not any comfort for the customer. It is worse than before the remodeling was done.

Thanks for replying of what Joanns started as...Cloth World...thats interesting. I never think of Joannes for anything but sewing stuff or scrap bk supplies...never for furniture. We are getting a new Joannes sometime in Oct, curious see what their inventory will be...rumor has it that it will be less fabric.
