I have Joanns and Hobby Lobby - I preferred the old Joann's - stuff was easier to see. like someone else said stuff is wayyy up high and hard to see and too much walking. I never thought I'd tire walking around a fabric store but other than the yarn from time to time I really dont like walking through the other stuff and mine keeps mixing stuff around from time to time. but I'll deal since the alternative is NO Joann's...but they did get rid of good managers who actually knew sewing/quilting and brought in educated master's degrees with a business focus :-( and Hobby Lobby has some bad managers too in my area but hey they have fabric. I think they used to carry more but they claim the new shelves aren't smaller but I KNOW I used to find different stuff - more cottons - than I do now.
