Joann, the 80-year-old crafts and fabrics retailer, is set to close all its stores across the United States. This decision comes just one month after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The closure marks the end of an era for craft enthusiasts who have relied on Joann for supplies. For those in Portland seeking alternatives, several local spots remain available for arts and crafts materials. The shutdown reflects ongoing challenges in the retail sector amid shifting consumer preferences and financial pressures. — news from Axios
