OREGON, USA — Crafting and fabrics retailer Joann is shuttering hundreds of stores nationwide, including 15 in Oregon and one in southwest Washington.
On Wednesday, the company filed a motion in bankruptcy court, seeking to close around 533 of its 800 locations in the U.S. The initial list includes at least one location from each state, except for Hawaii. This is the second time Joann has declared bankruptcy in less than 12 months.
The states with the most stores closing include California with 61; Florida, 36; Pennsylvania, 33; Ohio, 33; and Michigan, 33. Joann developed from a single storefront in Ohio in 1943, expanding to a national chain. In Washington, over 20 stores are expected to close.
The exact dates and impacts of the closures are unknown at this time.
