Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts

This place has loads of fabric and notions. You take your fabric to the register and they cut it at the register. They have patterns and sewing machines too.
Employees okay.

When I think of heaven, it looks a lot like Jo-Ann’s– a sewing notions section, tons of fabrics, craft supplies, beautiful scrapbooking papers… I also love that with the phone app, you can always use great coupons on any purchases. Seriously, I love Jo-Ann’s.
I felt compelled to write a review about this particular Jo-Ann’s out of love for brand as a whole. When I first walked in, i thought «Are they moving somewhere??» Something just seemed off about the whole place– like there were gaps where merchandising displays should be, fabric bolts were piled in disorganized heaps everywhere, and there were rings of filth on the floor outlining where displays had previously been. In fact, the whole floor was filthy and in poor repair. Something was also off about the lighting– like slightly creepy? This was not the Jo-Ann’s I love!
When I went to checkout, I even asked the lady if they were moving or re-​arranging things. She acted confused and said that no, everything was normal. I commented that the floor was extremely dirty and she said something about how their cleaning company wasn’t very good and it always looked like that. Umm… might want to do something about that?
I haven’t been back to this location since. Now I’m willing to drive a lot farther south to the «clean» store. I really hope they get this store in shape because I would hate to lose it. It clearly wasn’t getting much business, and if someone who loves Jo-Ann’s as much as me won’t go in again, then they may have a big problem on their hands!

My heart smiles thinking about going to Jo-Ann’s. Their clothing patterns are a little disorganized (sort of… you can find them, I just feel as though it could be set up a little better) and sometimes their scraps bins for fabric and fabric set ups are a little hectic, but overall I always find what I need when I go there! The employees are friendly… especially when you’re friendly to them, and this is my go to place when Michael’s doesn’t have what I need!
