Well, they must have heard you because they list a
store in Poland, which is in the Akron/Canton area. 
Then there is one in Columbus area and the others are
split between Dayton and Cincinnati.

I don't think they have much to worry about from
JoAnn's.  From what I can see they are turning into a
craft/decorating store.  My local store has less and
less fine fashion fabric while the craft and quilting
sections grows.  Last winter they didn't have any wool
at all.  

And can someone explain why a fabric store needs a
candy section near the register?
