      @@CreativeGrandma I understand it is only one store closing but I see some changes at ours also. I worked there briefly couple of months ago. It is just normal for companies with new management look at numbers and demographics, etc and start tying to move things around. I am sure they will be around for years to come.

      @@CreativeGrandma Our stores here in Allentown are staying open. If you ever feel like driving down I'd be happy to meet you. I now live in the Lehigh Valley but before I moved here I lived in Jamison City (Benton. Columbia County). I hate the decline of craft stores and really can't yarn shop online. How do you pick what you can't feel? Michaels bought AC Moore so we gained a couple Michaels. (I used to have to go all the way to Phillipsburg, NJ). I hope you're not stuck with only Walmart selection for yarn and If you don't have one I hope you get a Michaels.

    FYI. I live in Southern California and the JoAnns near me closed but a new larger one a bit further away was opened. I spoke to a worker that turned out to be the manager and this is what she told me. They are consolidating their smaller stores into larger regional stores. They are stocking them with more items, more selections of sizes, colors, etc. Makes business sense if not as covienent to many of us. One observation I had for her is that they had great and helpful staff but were far and few in between. She stated that corporate has limited their staffing making it difficult to schedule for busy hours etc. I guess we customers need to speak up and make our voices heard…. then follow through and give them the business we promised. Thank you for your videos, which have been very informative and helpful to me!!!

    Glenda, I use regular zippers for my crochet bags. I use a perforating rotary blade. It makes small evenly spaced holes in the zipper tape. Much cheaper than the "crochet zippers" they sell.

    I just was at our local Joann's earlier today. Im so sad we're losing ours!! I do a large variety of crafting!! No other store in my town carries the variety of fabrics and notions for sewing as our local Joann.😢 As for yarn selection, they have the best varieties, not just their yarn brand. My mom, who passed away in 2015 used to make clothes for all of us kids as i was growing up because, at the time, it was much cheaper to make than to buy! Sewing was my first craft. Mom and i used to go to our town's first fabric store and then Joann when it first came to town in 1977! Mom sewed up until 2013. She would be 97 now. I like others have stated, want to feel my yarn!! How can one confidently purchase yarn without being able to feel it!! My only Joann choice is to drive an hour and a half away!! Well it will be something to add to my trips to my doctor appointments. ..lol. I found out the one there isn't closing, thank God!!!❤

    Hello Glenda, hello Cody! Very sad that that store is closing. I live in Pittsburgh and I don’t think the stores around here are closing. I did buy some yarn online the other day and they said the color was peppermint. I took a chance on it because I’m visually impaired and there was no one around to look at it. When it came, it was teal beige and white but the name on there was peppermint. It’s forever fleece by Burnett and I was very disappointed. I guess I’ll figure something out to make with it. Anyway, our Michaels doesn’t have much at all.

    My son was saying we don’t need so many blankets etc but way
    back when people sewed pyjamas and made cloth diapers from
    old flannel blankets. All the decades dependant on stores and

Sad though...I know Joanns was going thru bankruptcy but I thought they restructured the biz, so they could stay in business. Plus who knows, maybe the owner increased it to something ridiculous too. Hope they can find another location where rent isn't crazy but if they're selling all things not sure..hope my local store hangs in there... just like rental homes and apts, they're sky high..how do they folks can afford it .that's why you have 2 families living together sad.. be interesting to see what tenant goes in there next!

    Trader Joe’s isn’t really that expensive and it certainly is not bougie. I’m not sure what they would have in Pennsylvania, but that’s in Colorado, but that Joannes would be closing and not moving like creative. Grandma said to another place is just unheard of in my opinion are they just too lazy to move or do they just not wanna do this anymore? I’ve noticed that here even in Colorado Joannes is getting much more expensive and certainly does not have the best quality.

I've been watching this channel for years and I can't imagine Glenda or Cody doing anything dishonest or misleading or trying to "alarm" anyone! This lady has helped countless people in sharing her craft for free! Maybe you should stop and think before you comment and accuse someone of being dishonest or misleading.

      I do not understand why people think it is click bait when in the first 30 seconds of the video I clearly state it is my Local store, and it is going out of business. I think people need to listen to what I am saying. I am sad my local store is closing and the photo is from the front of the store and me walking into the store. So if people are taking it the wrong way it is because they are not listening to the video. Everything I say in the video is true and confirmed by the manager. Thank You for your comment. I was just trying to relay information to anyone in my area who would like to advantage of the sales.

      I hate shopping online for fabric and yarn, sigh. I, too, like to touch them to see how soft they are, etc. And online colors do not really show the colors exactly. I have bought fabric and have been disappointed in the colors. Maybe it is just me. I have to drive hours to get to fabric stores or yarn stores. I have a Walmart, but they only carry precuts and for some reason, the yarn always seems empty. It is a bummer.

    My JoAnns is the size of a large grocery store however they never have any more than 1 cashier and 1 person working on the floor. It is so dang frustrating.

    Sad they are closing and actually, Trader Joe’s is pretty discounted on most of their stuff. We shop there to save money. They are under the same umbrella as Aldi. I can’t say that I’d rather trade Joann’s for Trader Joe’s but most communities advocate for Trader Joe’s because they have so many discounted groceries. 🤷‍♀

    So sad! I agree.... There are lots of empty stores available. Perhaps the brick and mortar stores are not doing well enough to justify the rents? That's sad. I like to see what I'm buying.

    So sorry your store is closing. No more Joann shopping trip videos with Gma and Cody. 😢 Hopfully they will open another location close to you in the near future. If this is a busy location, maybe they will. It seems their restructuring isn't going too well. Btw Trader Joe's is a great store! They have some really great products at reasonable prices.

    I'm sorry yall are losing your Joann's! It's definitely sad how prices are going up and good brick and mortar stores are shutting down. Yall should definitely check into buying some of the storage racks, baskets, and spinner shelves. But you might want to ask the store manager or owner about them sooner than later.

    Hobby lobby have a great selection of others craft but about fabrics is very limited. I hope my store in Mobile Alabama survive. Thanks!

    They are going thru a restructure and will be closing more stores. I don’t know if they have come out of bankruptcy yet. Need to erase debt. What we don’t know is have they been paying their rent timely. They probably need to get balance sheets looking better.

    On Friday, I was at one of the Joann's in Albuquerque. There were only 2 employees in the whole store, and the line for getting fabric cut was unbelievable, especially because there was a fabric sale. Also, the checkout line was long, too. I pray that more stores don't close. So sorry for you both.

    I would be sad if my Joann's went out of business. Hobby Lobby rarely carries any yarn that isn't their store brand and the local Michaels has such a horrible yarn selection I stopped going.

    I'm so sorry Glenda and Cody! I have fond memories of one stop Christmas shopping at JoAnn's. And it is difficult to buy craft specific things online. The seller seldom knows what size a 16" 6mm circular knitting needle with 4" tips is as opposed to any other one. Amazon has sent me several other sizes I will never use, for example. Peace and Blessings to you all 🧶🎄🎁

    So sorry to hear about your Joann’s store closure. I live in Del Río, Texas and have to drive 75 miles to Uvalde to shop at Hobby Lobby. My closest Michael’s and Joann’s are 150 miles away in San Antonio. I don’t like to buy yarn on line unless I have seen the yarn first in a store with my own eyes.
