AND ANOTHER RETAILER BITES THE DUST

By Bob Walsh

 


Joann Fabric was at one time the largest retailer of fabric in the United States.  A few weeks ago they announced a major cutback in the number of outlets they were operating.

Within the last couple of days they have announced they are throwing in the towel and closing down.  That is a shame.  I strongly suspect that fabric is something that most buyers want to see and hold in their hand before purchasing rather than buying off the net.  

Market forces sometimes really suck.
