Jo-Ann Fabrics and Craft

I called to ask about permeable fabric. The first woman who answered the phone cut me off and transferred me, the second woman didn’t have time to help. I was treated like a nuisance. The phone call was under a minute.

I really appreciate the Joann store. I often run in there for one or two items.
It has a pretty good craft selection in all categories and great coupon deals, accepting the coupons of Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
Sometimes its hard to find an employee to help find an item, but thats no different than the other craft stores in the area.
This is my go-​to place.

Consistently one of the nicest, neatest JoAnn’s I’ve shopped. Very helpful employees, well organized. Competes with the local Hobby Lobby as the place to find anything crafting-​a pretty mean feat.

One of those stores that’s a necessary evil. The store is so big & crowded with stuff it actually sickened me when I first entered. There are things you can only get there but its impossible to be happy about that. While the underpaid overworked employess are okay, the experience there is bewildering. I asked my partner to accompany me b/​c it is so so hard to focus on what you came in for. Once I went in to get a needle and thread, and had to pass 20,000 or more items just to find them. «Cover me, I’m going in.» The problem is not just scale, its the impersonal nature of such stores. They make people and their lives insignificant. Nearly every item is made in a Chinese sweatshop — bankrupting American workers — with an absurdly elevated price. (At least the thread was make in Germany (better working conditions). As you can tell I hate these «Big Bucks» stores. If there are any positives, its that they still sell fabric — after most stores quit. If you need basic craft supplies, you’ll find them here

I stopped by this Joann Fabrics to look around the store. This is one of the most organized Joann Fabrics I’ve been to. In addition, there are hundreds of fabrics and craft supplies to choose from.
The aisles were clean and neat. The only bad part was that the clearance items were scattered throughout the store. It felt like a scavenger hunt searching for the sale items.
Bathrooms are in the back of the store. They are clean.
I enjoyed the friendly hello when I entered the store.
