Stores in several states have closed

This is the latest in a string of closures for the company.

The company announced the central Nebraska location will be shutting down after it was sued for $2.4million due to a property dispute by local real estate agency Woodsonia.

Luckily, the store came to an "amicable agreement" with Woodsonia, according to a report from NBC-affiliated news outlet KSNB.

Customers have until tomorrow at 6pm to shop.

The company offered some hope to crafters in the area though.

"Joann remains committed to its loyal customer base in Grand Island and will explore all options to continue serving the crafters and sewists in this community," the retailer and Woodsonia said in a joint statement.

"Until a new location is identified, Joann encourages customers to visit joann.com for convenient access to its full product assortment.”

It's unclear if Joann will be operating again inside Conestoga Mall after the closure.

ALL THAT GLITTERS

A week later, the company shut down stores in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan; Bridgeport, West Virginia; Brockton, Massachusetts; and Keene, New Hampshire.

"In alignment with standard brick and mortar business processes, Joann closes stores occasionally while simultaneously investing in, and opening brand new stores to best meet the needs of our customers," the company told The U.S. Sun.

THE END DAYS
