Of the two I liked Hancock Fabrics better but if JoAnn's does come to town at least I'll have a source of sewing supplies where I can see and feel before purchasing (as compared to ordering online).

The local Hancock's closed about 10 years ago. Do have 6 JoAnn's within a 50 mile radius, a Hobby Lobby, Walmart and a Ben Franklin. We also are lucky enough to have quite a few LQS in the Nashua, NH area. I used to love Hancock's and was sorry to see the local one close.

I really love buying fabric at Hobby Lobby. They have lots of wonderful novelty fabrics, and have a 30% off sale price nearly every day. Also, I get a 40% off one item on my phone that can be used once a day over and over on subsequent days. I pick out the most expensive piece of fabric, have them write the ticket for the yardage at its regular price, and then use the 40% on my phone for that one piece. They are happy to write up the ticket that way. I love everything about that store including the Christian music being played in the background as I shop.

I wanted to ask if they found another job but I didn't have the heart to ask. Our store will officially close tomorrow I think.
