Joann, a national crafts and fabric store, will be shutting down all its locations, including the store off William D. Tate Avenue in Grapevine.

What happened

The location in Grapevine will remain open until the majority of its retail is liquidated, according to a Joann spokesperson.

The company announced Feb. 23 that it was being sold due to its second bankruptcy filing in less than a year to the GA Group. Originally, 500 locations across the country were going to be shut down, but now all 800 locations will be closed.

"In connection with this agreement, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval of the transaction, the winning bidders plan to begin winding down the company's operations and conduct going-out-of-business sales at all store locations," Joann said in a statement.


The backstory

Joann, which was formerly Joann's Fabrics, had been opened for more than 80 years. The store specialized in selling fabrics, yarn, needle arts, paper crafting, jewelry making and cake decorating.

Retailers also sold furniture, home decor, candles, sewing machines, sewing materials, and patterns for clothes and quilts.
