Jo-Ann: Making Quite an Impression for More than 70 Years

Originally a small cheese shop in Cleveland, Ohio, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores has become one of America's most exciting retail brands. And with more than 850 stores in 49 states, we're also one of the biggest.

Bursting with fabrics, craft supplies and inspiration, Jo-Ann is creativity personified. But our company is so much more. We're opportunity, community and education. We're a place where our greatest asset – and most creative resource – is our people.

Fueling Creativity with Fabrics and Sew Much More

As the nation's largest fabric and craft retailer in the United States, Jo-Ann has something for the maker in all of us. Shop any of our stores or Joann.com and you'll find a wealth of competitively priced merchandise – from classic to contemporary – for sewing, crafting and home décor projects.

On top of fabrics, we offer notions, floral & gardening items, frames, yarn, jewelry-making tools & supplies, papercrafting and foodcrafting favorites, art supplies, kids' crafting kits and educational items, along with finished seasonal & everyday home décor. In a number of our stores, you'll also find custom framing services, as well as educational classes for sewing and crafting enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels.
