I found out the store in Roanoke, VA is liquidating because they will be moving and opening a new superstore at Tower Road Mall. Guess this may be the reason.
Wish I had bought shares when they were lower. Oh well.

When I graduated college (1982) I worked for the original owner and founder of JoAnn Fabrics in Cleveland. She was quite elderly at the time - her children ran the company - she just managed one of the stores. Very interesting woman from the old country!!

I decided to go out of my box of colors and go aqua blue and browns....
