Bankruptcy For Another Major Retailer
Long-running retail chain Joann Fabrics and Crafts has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as part of a structural reorganization. We have seen this happen a lot lately. So here we go, bankruptcy for another major retailer.
The company says its stores and online sales will continue to operate as usual. Joann has been around since 1943 but is currently more than a billion dollars in debt as retail sales continue to shrink. The restructuring will eliminate about $500 million of that debt.
Fox Business says, Chris DiTullio, chief customer officer and co-lead of the interim office of the CEO, said in the release, “There is no other retailer with the same ability to serve sewists, quilters, crocheters, crafters, and other creative enthusiasts as we have for the past 80 years, and we take great pride in seeing the passion and engagement of our millions of customers and our Team Members.”
