Joann Fabrics Is Closing Stores—Here’s How to Snag Wedding & Newlywed Deals Before They’re Gone
If you’ve walked into a Joann Fabrics lately, you may have noticed a wave of “Store Closing” signs and deep clearance racks. It’s true—Joann Fabrics, a go-to craft and fabric store for decades, is reportedly closing multiple locations across the country after years of declining foot traffic and changing shopping trends.
For savvy couples planning a wedding or setting up newlywed life, this shift could be an opportunity to stock up on décor, supplies, and creative essentials—at seriously discounted prices.
Here’s what to know—and how to take full advantage of Joann’s clearance events before they disappear.
Wedding Finds Worth Scoping Out
Whether you’re planning a full DIY wedding or just want a few thoughtful touches, now’s the time to hit up your local Joann Fabrics before it shutters. Here’s what we recommend checking for:
Perfect for centerpieces, ceremony backdrops, bouquet fillers, and even boutonnieres. Joann is known for quality faux florals—if you spot a good selection on sale, grab them while you can!
Table runners, napkins, chair sashes, even altar draping—buying fabric by the yard lets you customize your wedding look while saving money. Look for luxe fabrics like satin, tulle, or lace.
Think: signage materials, wooden or acrylic blanks, chalkboards, mason jars, and ribbon. All those sweet DIY projects you’ve pinned? Joann probably carries them—and now, for less.
If you’re planning to personalize favors or signage with vinyl decals or want to level up your crafting skills post-wedding, this is the time to grab tools and materials that rarely go on sale.
5. Home Decor & Seasonal Items
Many Joann stores carry candles, storage bins, throw pillows, and seasonal decorations—perfect for cozying up your first home together or stocking up for your first holidays as newlyweds.
Pro Tips for Shopping Joann Store Closures
- Call ahead or check online to confirm if your local store is closing.
- Go in person, you are no longer able to make purchases online.
- Go early—inventory moves fast during closing sales.
Ask about additional markdowns on bulk buys or floor fixtures (great if you’re hosting a wedding at home or starting your own event business). - Combine deals with any remaining coupons or loyalty discounts if allowed.
