Joann fabrics stores closing across the U.S. The national retail chain list of shuttering craft stores includes 2 in Mississippi.

Joann is part of a growing trend of retailers closing stores as consumers reduce spending. With other brands like Kohl's and Macy's also scaling back, more than 15,000 store closures across all businesses are expected in 2025, double the number from last year, according to Coresight Research.

Joann, whose outlets were once called Jo-Ann Fabrics, is based in Hudson, Ohio. The chain has long sold art supplies, such as yarn, sewing machines, fabrics and other seasonal products. The company currently has stores in 49 states.

Following the filing of its second bankruptcy, JOANN plans to close more than 500 of its 850 locations, including 15 stores in Oregon. Here's where.
