Chain Store In Darien Shuts Doors
The same is the case for all the chain's stores, even though its website and phone message haven't caught up.
DARIEN, IL – The Joann Fabrics and Crafts store in Darien closed its doors recently.
All the chain's stores were to be closed by the end of May. That was months after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The Darien store was part of the Chestnut Court shopping center southeast of 75th Street and Lemont Road, next to Downers Grove.
