We have a similar situation here. Jo-Anne's is almost strictly
polyester-quiltiing-fleece-crafty products. I went in to look for
some wool to make a tunic and couldn't find anything except some
sleezy poly wool blends. I asked where to find wool in town and was
sent to a local fabric

Both stores are on the Eastern side of the Willamette river (that's
Will-am-ut, not Will-ha-met) river in Portland, Oregon. Both are huge,

Washougal, Washington is just across the I 205 bridge and a bit east from
Portland/Vancouver. It has the BIG Pendleton outlet store. What you see is

There used to be loads more Hancock stores in Ohio. A several years ago, on
the way home from Pennsic, I stopped at the store in Boardman. The manager
told me that all of the stores in a 200 mile radius had been closed. So far
as I can see, there are no more Hancocks in the Cleveland area.

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

I actually don't see much difference where I am in the inventories carried by
Hancock's, Jo-Ann's and the fabric sections of Beverlee's. All of them are now

The problem with Joann's and Hancock had to face is the amount of people
sewing have drastically reduced over the years. All of our Joann's closed
up about five or so years ago while they were in bankruptcy. The problem
about location is that most of Hancock were built three or more decades

This is the way our Joann's was before it closed. If I want to go to a
crafts store, Michael's and Ben Franklins is so much better. Joann's wasn't
even a good craft store when it was here. The merchandise was of a cheap
