I'm with you on the Walmarts. Running everyone out around them including fabric stores then they quit selling it. I did notice prices go up at Joanns when Walmart bailed but I still do alot of shopping at Joanns.
I live by Spokane Washington and there are 3 Joanns there. I hope they don't close. With Walmart bailing on the fabric Joanns should stay in business.
I'm unclear about the Joanns though, are they all closing?
