You have probably heard by now that Joann is going out of business forcing shoppers who purchase craft supplies and fabric products to shop elsewhere. While a majority of Joann stores don't close until the end of May, it's a good idea to start thinking about a new place for your craft supply needs.

One thing worth mentioning is that according to The U.S. Sun, Joann is no longer accepting gift cards which wasn't met with a positive reaction by a few shoppers. It's worth mentioning that the retail chain noted that while final sales were going on, customer gift cards would be accepted until February 28. That date has passed and some folks aren't happy about this policy but it is what it is.

Despite the gift card drama, Joann is offering going-out-of-business deals to its customers. Discounts are as high as 40% off everything in-store, according to a recent post on Joann's Instagram page. That is the discount right now but the deals could get even better as we get closer to the closing dates.

If you have a Joann gift card, chances are the store you try to use it at won't accept it. Hopefully, this will eliminate any surprises you may have had when attempting to use the gift card.
