Joann to close 21 of 30 WA locations. Is your local store closing or staying open?
Washingtonians who enjoy sewing and crafting will soon have fewer places to shop for supplies in the state.
Joann announced on Wednesday Feb. 12 that it would close “approximately 500” of its 850 locations across the U.S., according to USA Today. The nationwide closures include 21 of the 30 stores in Washington.
The announcement comes after the company filed for bankruptcy in January 2025 after previously filing then going private in March 2024.
Joann said in its latest announcement that it was looking to accomplish “right-sizing its store footprint.”
“This was a very difficult decision to make, given the major impact we know it will have on our Team Members, our customers and all of the communities we serve,” reads the statement. “A careful analysis of store performance and future strategic fit for the Company determined which stores should remain operating as usual at this time.”
The retail chain did not release an official list of closing stores to the public. However, it did submit locations to the court as part of its bankruptcy process, which included several locations in Washington. The court documents list 533 stores in 49 states that are slated to close, according to USA Today.
Below are stores in Washington set to close, and those remaining open for the time being.
