Joann's was purchased by another company a while ago. Some changes I noticed in the three stores nearby included new racks that go up very high and block the light so you can't really see the fabric, higher prices for everything, and fewer high value coupons. I guess, like everyone, they need to increase their bottom line. You can still get 50% off coupons but they are far and few between. The 20% off ones are useful if you manage to combine their timing with 50% off Red Dot fabric -- if you can find anything you actually want in Red Dot these days.
