POV into JOANN Fabrics in Niles, IL, Chicagoland: 7-Min in a Struggling Arts & Fabric Store

Join me on a 7-minute stroll through one of the major Joann Fabrics in the Chicagoland area, in Niles, IL. This is a lovely store with a lot of cool fabrics and fantastic arts and craft supplies, just 19 miles North of downtown Chicago.
Despite being a beloved destination with recent enticing sales, Joann Inc. is at a crossroads, with warnings of potential delisting from Nasdaq due to stock struggles. The company has roots dating back to its founding in 1943 and its impressive growth to approximately 850 stores across 49 states by 2023.
However, with nearly $1.1 billion in long-term debt and a projected decline in net sales, Joann Inc. finds itself navigating uncertain waters. While the company thrived during the pandemic, capturing the interest of craft enthusiasts, recent reports suggest a decline in sales, comps, and margins.
Will Joann Fabrics overcome these challenges and continue to be a go-to source for fabrics and crafts? Thanks for walking with us in exploring this wonderful, iconic retailer.

JoAnn has the stupidest pricing methods. Overpriced stuff nobody will buy because the price isn't be reasonable without a coupon and who knows when that item will be marked down? If you need something right away, you overpay just to get it and you feel like a sucker. Plus they always act like trying to check out or get fabric cut is a huge ordeal for them.
