I am sure that JoAnn's corporate hqs has completely changed over the years, however, what I said was definitely not rumor.
The managers were flown in for meetings, with the theme being customer service.
The managers that did good jobs in those days were offered stock options and some pretty nice bonuses.
Mr. & Mrs. Zimmerman wanted the family touch to all the stores.
Does anyone remember the display boards up near the ceilings? The employees were required to make these.
They could make their choice with materials supplied but the displays had to stay up a certain length of time.
We have good JoAnn's in both Midland & Mt.Pleasant.
The brand new store in Mt.Pleasant was built in part of the old Sam's Club. Hmmn?
