Oh goodness. I certainly hope this isn't a trend. Our store has been in decline this past year. Empty shelves everywhere. Ya can't make money with empty shelves. I'd be lost without my JoAnn's. It's just as much a social outing as it is craft, art and fabrics for me store. Most everyone in the store knows me. (I wish I could remember their names too.) They are customer and service oriented. I feel your grief.

Sorry bout JoAnns but talk to a WalMarts rep they may help get the needles/thread I have a friend who has worked at the same store in Indpls for 15 yrs and the special requests for notions helped them retain their fabrics dept --also I lived in Indpls for 20 yrs before coming bk to ohio and there were a lot of fab shops including Hancocks and a Fabric WareHouse all on Washington Ave and in the smaller out laying towns -check on line for fabric stores in towns near you Hope this helps

Our Joanns did the same thing a couple of years ago. And after all the stuff in the store was sold, at giant discounts I might add, and after I bought a BUNCH of stuff, they announced they we opening in another shopping center about a mile down the road. So keep watch. Not all is lost just yet. Watch for the announcement when all the stuff in the old location is almost gone.

Sorry to hear you are losing your Joanns store. The one closest to me closed several years ago and they reopened but at a much farther distance. I very seldom go there anymore as it is just too far. I did shop online at Joann.com the other day and found what I wanted and the shipping was cheaper than the gas to drive over there. I do have access to another fabric store about 25 miles away so am not totally cut off.
