Joann stated that the closures are part of an effort to “right-size its store footprint.”<\/p>\n

“This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the significant impact on our Team Members, customers, and the communities we serve,” the statement read. “Following a thorough evaluation of store performance and long-term strategic goals, we identified which locations will continue operating as usual.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
