Joann, the struggling fabric and crafts retailer, announced Wednesday it will close approximately 500 stores across the United States, including 1185 Vann Drive in Jackson.
The Joann fabrics and crafts company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 18, but maintained plans to keep its more than 800 stores open.
The Hudson, Ohio-based retailer first opened in 1943.
Management at the Jackson store could not be reached for comment.
