Joann, the iconic craft retailer that has been in business for 82 years, is set to close its remaining 500 stores following a second bankruptcy filing. GA Group, the financial services firm that gained control after the January bankruptcy, has announced going-out-of-business sales at all locations, which will last until supplies run out. The company's interim CEO cited a challenging retail climate and unexpected inventory issues as key reasons for its financial troubles. As the last stores close, the craft retail landscape faces significant change amid evolving consumer behavior and economic challenges.
Joann’s bankruptcy highlights the challenge modern retailers face amid rising inflation and shifting consumer spending patterns. Once thriving, the 82-year-old chain succumbed to economic pressures.
GA Group's decision to close all 790 locations reflects a broader trend in retail, where many established brands are struggling to adapt to changing market dynamics and consumer behavior.
