BALTIMORE, MD—Joann, the popular craft and fabric store, is closing 13 stores in Maryland, leaving only one store in Annapolis in operation. The company, which filed for bankruptcy last month, plans to close over half of its 800 stores across 49 states.
The only remaining Joann store in Maryland will be located in Annapolis. The company has not announced a specific closing date for the affected stores, but closing sales will be held prior to their closure. The company will then vacate the closing store locations.
This marks Joann’s second bankruptcy filing within a year. The company previously filed for Chapter 11 protection in March 2024 and later transitioned to a private entity. Joann cited inventory shortages and “lasting challenges in the retail environment” as reasons for the bankruptcy filing.
The company intends to begin the closing process as soon as possible, according to court documents.
