JOANN Fabric and Crafts

I LOVE JOANN but I was surprised AND disappointed to find the facade of a new store like in the google photos. The parking lot seems to have been bombarded by shells so much the potholes are present and dangerous in the parking lot. Anyway, at Joann I can find everything from cricut products to fabric and I love that because we don't have a store like that in Canada ! Everytime it cost me hundreds of dollars.

Great store! It always has everything we need from yarn, to baking supplies, to framing solutions, hobby supplies, and more. They recently re-paved their parking lot, which is a HUGE upgrade!

Many of the overhead lights are out, causing the store to have a very dark appearance. Helpful associates! Olivia was friendly and offered coupons at checkout. Another associate incredibly resourceful in helping me find something specific.

I went to the Joannes on Stillwater in Bangor Maine. This was the worst shopping experience I’ve ever had, i’m fairly new to sewing and I had bought a pattern that I wanted to do with my granddaughter. I found the fabrics that I needed but I needed help with the notions as I didn’t know what some of these items were, the first lady in the fabric section said she could not help me because she does not sew, so I asked her if there was someone else in this department that could help me, so she said that person was on break so I waited. When she showed up, she directed me back to the firs lady that had already told me that she could not help me. At that point all she did is point in five different directions saying you can get this here you can get that there, once I got there I had no idea what I was looking for, so finally, I left my cart there and I told them this was the worst shopping experience I’ve ever had. where I moved here from, the ladies in the fabric department were way more helpful. They would’ve at least brought me to where I needed to go and pointed things out for me. I will never shop at Joanne's again. Is it too much to ask for someone to do their job?

I called and asked for a specific product. She put me on hold and checked and said yes we have it. I drove 2 hours round trip to come here and imagine my disappointment when I get there and they don't even carry the product. I spoke to a manager and all she had to say was "oooh sorry about that". Won't be shopping at Joann's for a long while

Go in, I'm a guy, I make stuff, sewing etc, old ladies working there call me derogatory names. I couldn't even care, but you buy something, get a coupon, and then try to use a coupon later. Things that aren't marked on sale are suddenly on sale when you get to the register, and your coupon is invalid. Every time I go there, I wish I hadn't. Shelves are bare, they been looking like they going out of business for months. Store employees telling me how much better Hobby Lobby is. Maybe business would be better if yall actually tried to sell something besides cliche nick knack trash. But hey, they finally paved their driveway.

One of the best Dollar Trees I've been to. Really great craft supplies and lots of them. It is spacious, organized and clean. I wish it were closer to home, but I'm glad it's here for my yearly visit.

The parking lot is terrible - seems they have tried to fill some of the holes with gravel but this only helps a small bit. The whole store stinks, it’s as if the staff sprays a smelly something before they open. I can see that it would trigger migraines. I get out as fast as I can (and make sure to miss the potholes!)

The staff at Joann are all incredibly helpful and friendly, and I found most of what I was looking for. My disappointment is really in the appearance of the store lately and the godawful parking lot. The store is past due for an updated look! The outside is an ugly beige color, chipped and dingy on the outside. The inside is missing ceiling tiles, and it looks like it needs some work. The parking lot hasn't had attention in over a decade- totally derelict. The potholes are very hazardous. Time to fix it all up!

The store smells moldy, the parking lot is falling apart, and the service is terrible. You can really tell they are going out of business.

They are not taking the pandemic seriously. I have tried curbside pickup three times- each time was a failure. the minimum order is one yard which would be okay if you could avoid being inside. They have a narrow tightly enforced time of curbside pickup. No number to call is displayed. If you miss the time window, they only hold your prepaid order for three days so you have to go into the store or lose your payment. Even though there is a city mask order, a large portion of shoppers are not wearing masks. The last time I went inside to get my order, three loud talking unmasked women got into line behind me. Of course, no social distancing is done by the unmasked. They could not find my order. The clerk had to go into the back to get it. She wheeled out a cart of orders, but instead of giving me my order, she waited on the unmasked ladies first.

The prices in general in this store are far more than the prices of craft supply items would be at Walmart, AC Moore, or Michaels. They do carry basically the same items. If you are in desperate need of an item that you can't find, I would say check here and they might have it.
