Liquidation Sale In Progress At Orland Park Joann Store

ORLAND PARK, IL — A liquidation sale has started at the Orland Park location of Joann Fabric and Craft, as the company prepares to shutter it and hundreds more across the country.

The Orland Park Joann Fabric and Craft store, 15752 S. La Grange Rd., is one of 500 slated to soon close permanently.

“Your overwhelming demonstration of how much everybody loves JOANN has meant more to us than you know," the company said on its website. "Although we regrettably will be closing some stores, we are grateful to continue our mission of inspiring creativity in our customers online and in stores across the country."

The Cleveland, Ohio-based company cited rising costs and dwindling demand for its financial difficulties, as more sewists, quilters, knitters and other craft enthusiasts are buying supplies online.

Stores in liquidation are denoted on the company's store locator.

The company last month filed for bankruptcy a second time, after first filing in March 2024; all stores were kept open after the earlier filing. The company said last year it had acquired $132 million in new funding, which it planned to use to reduce its debt by approximately $505 million.

In its recent move to close more than half of its stores, the company cited rising costs and dwindling demand leading to its financial difficulties, as more sewists, quilters, knitters and other craft enthusiasts are buying supplies online.

Nearly 30 of the retailer's stores in Illinois are set to close, including locations in Arlington Heights, Countryside, Crestwood, Norridge, Joliet, Algonquin, Bloomingdale, Countryside, Geneva, McHenry, Niles, Naperville, Vernon Hills, Wheaton and two stores in Chicago.
