Joann's Fabric in Corte Madera is among about 500 locations set to close, as the company works its way out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Marin’s longtime one-stop shop for buying charmeuse by the yard is quickly spooling to an end. Joann Fabric and Crafts at 245 Tamal Vista in Corte Madera is among about 500 outlets of the sewing and crafts chain set to close, its parent company announced in February.
The company, which began Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in January, described the move in a statement as “right-sizing our store footprint” as it plots a financial path forward. At the time of the announcement, Joann Fabric had about 850 stores in the U.S. A closure date was not announced.
