As Joann Fabrics shutters its remaining locations
department store chain Burlington is set to take over leases to 45 Joann store locations
The soon-to-be-defunct fabric and craft retailer already closed hundreds of stores in April
with more than 500 stores set to close by the end of May
known previously as Burlington Coat Factory
will begin taking on the leases of 45 Joann store locations nationwide after Joann Fabrics filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than 12 months
Here's a look at the Ohio Joann stores that will see second life as Burlington locations
Court filings show at least two Ohio locations — one in Columbus and another in Youngstown — where Burlington will assume leases formerly occupied by the Hudson
Burlington will take over the leases in May and June, according to Retail Dive
Burlington will take over the Akron and Columbus Joann stores listed here on June 1
Joann operated 45 stores in Ohio and eight in Kentucky
In January, Joann Fabrics filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than 12 months
announcing it could go out of business if a better offer to buy the company wasn't found
The company was purchased by GA Joann Retail Partnership, a partnership between financial services company GA Group and Joann's term lenders, the Beacon Journal reported previously
The new owners then announced going-out-of-business sales at all locations
Previously, Joann Inc. filed for bankruptcy in March 2024. The company was expected to receive about $132 million in new financing and reduce an estimated $505 million of debt, according to a Joann news release

The craft chain’s rapid wind-down is creating opportunity for retailers looking to grow their footprint
Burlington has said it will open 100 stores this year
BY Christopher Zara
The death of Joann fabrics is turning out to be a big gain for at least one other retailer
Following the beloved craft chain’s bankruptcy and subsequent plan to wind down its operations
discount retailer Burlington Stores—formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory—is moving to scoop up dozens of leases from former Joann locations across more than 20 states
some of which have been home to Joann’s stores for decades
were listed as being taken over by various Burlington subsidiaries on a bankruptcy court filing last week
with the company expected to assume control of most of the leases on June 1
In January, Joann filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time in less than a year
having succumbed to inflationary pressures and shifting habits among consumers who had embraced at-home crafts during the early years of the pandemic
The company has since said it would close every location, with a sizable chunk of those stores closing for good last week
All of Joann’s almost 800 stores are expected to be closed by the end of May
The relatively quick wind-down creates an opportunity for other retailers that are looking for space
with leases available for low cure amounts or no cure price at all
The transfer of leases to Burlington is not a done deal
as interested parties still have time to object
Fast Company reached out to Burlington for comment and additional details
Burlington Stores offers merchandise at so-called off prices
The company formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory earned $504 million in profit on revenue of $10.6 billion in fiscal 2024
Last week’s filing shows Texas as the state with the most Joann stores that will be transferred to Burlington
with nine locations in the Lone Star state
The filing also offers a window into the growth plans of a brick-and-mortar brand with ambitions to significantly increase its store count
While many chain retailers have reduced their physical footprint or shuttered entirely over the past few years, Burlington has been growing at a healthy clip. The company opened more than 100 net new stores in 2024
CEO Michael O’Sullivan said in an earnings release in March
and it plans to open another 100 locations this year
Burlington has also been relocating dozens of locations that O’Sullivan described as “oversized,” part of a national trend in which retailers are trying to do more with smaller-format stores
Burlington operated 1,108 stores in 46 states
It has said it has a long-term target of 2,000 stores
In addition to Burlington, the filing also listed other retailers that were taking over a handful of Joann locations, including Hobby Lobby, Boot Barn, and furniture retailer Massa Gallery.
Below you can find the full list of locations that Burlington is seeking to take over
The final deadline for Fast Company’s Brands That Matter Awards is Friday, May 30, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

it doesn't look like it's going to happen

This move to convert the old Joann's stores to Burlington stores will start happening this month and in June, with most leases being taken over on June 1
Other Joann locations will be taken over by other retailers like Hobby Lobby

The off-price retailer is taking advantage of the craft company’s closure as new shopping center growth diminishes
Joann’s decision in February to shutter all of its stores marks an opportunity for some companies looking to grow their footprint
“Our recent conversations with real estate contacts suggest very little new shopping center growth is planned in the US for the foreseeable future — meaning chains with high store growth ambitions
will need to be aggressively going after locations from retail bankruptcies along the way,” Evercore ISI analysts said in an emailed note Tuesday
Joann went through two bankruptcies in about 10 months, with its lenders and GA Group most recently winning a bankruptcy auction and initiating going-out-of-business sales at all locations. The retailer first filed bankruptcy in March 2024 with plans to reduce debt by about $500 million
A well-known arts and crafts retailer in business for about 82 years, Joann’s closure will push consumers to rivals. A Numerator survey released in February found that respondents said they would now shop for those products at Michaels and Hobby Lobby
as well as online companies and mass retailers such as Walmart
80% of respondents said they were upset by Joann’s closures
Burlington’s move to take on these leases comes as the off-price retailer chases growth. The company’s CEO, Michael O’Sullivan, in March said it opened 101 net new stores in 2024 and relocated 31 older
Burlington's net sales rose 4.8% year over year to almost $3.3 billion
and net income soared 14.6% to $260.8 million
that while the “outlook for 2025 is very uncertain,” such tumultuous economic environments are where the off-price model can perform best
While the retail industry deals with rapidly shifting global trade dynamics, off-price companies such as Burlington, TJX and Ross Stores could see hits to their customer bases because of new immigration policies in the U.S

Today Governor Josh Stein and Superintendent of Public Instruction Mo Green visited Hillcrest Elementary School in Burlington to highlight his budget proposal to strengthen North Carolina’s public schools
including a $4 billion school bond to address aging school buildings and facilities across the state.
“Too many schools across our state are overcrowded or need repairs
which often hinders students’ ability to learn and thrive,” said Governor Josh Stein. “We must ensure that our schools are well-built and our teachers are well-paid so that our students can receive the high-quality education that they deserve.”
“This school bond is a practical step toward the goal of investing fully in public education and ensuring that our students have safe
and supportive learning environments,” said North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction Maurice “Mo” Green
and our public schools need the facilities and resources to be able to meet that demand and to successfully prepare each student for their next phase in life.”
Governor Stein’s 2025-2027 budget proposal includes a $4 billion school bond to modernize old and outdated buildings
The Office of State Budget & Management estimates that North Carolina’s public schools need $13 billion to address school facility needs to keep up with the state’s growing population
Governor Stein’s budget also works to attract new teachers by raising starting teacher pay to the highest in the Southeast and retain veteran teachers by raising their pay
providing advanced teacher career pathways
It also invests in student safety and well-being by hiring more school nurses and social workers
providing free breakfast in public schools
and removing the distraction of cell phones from classrooms.

Colleen Collier’s favorite part of her job is seeing the smiles on everyones’ faces as they ride the Dentzel Carousel at Burlington City Park.
From small children to older adults and even her own grandkids
it’s been the highlight of her job at Burlington Recreation and Parks for the past two years.
they’re the youngest ones and I got a 14 year old
but she does ride the carousel,” Collier said
It's so much fun to see the little kids with smiles on their faces
Burlington City Park opened its arms for its 34th annual Carousel Festival on May 3
food trucks and musical performances.
has overseen the Carousel Festival for the past three years and has watched it grow ever since the Dentzel Carousel was fully restored and returned to the park in 2022.
According to Burlington Recreation and Parks
the Dentzel Carousel was built between 1906 and 1910 at the Dentzel Carousel Company in Philadelphia
Pennsylvania and purchased by the city of Burlington in 1948
the carousel was shipped off to Carousels & Carvings Inc
to be refinished and was returned to a new carousel house in City Park in 2022
Echeverria said that during the restoration process the entire carousel’s mechanisms were digitized in addition to visually restoring the ride to its original state.
“It's all freshly painted and brought back to its original character,” Echeverria said
they were actually able to upgrade it from the original mechanism that powered the carousel to now it's all digitalized
Having worked at Burlington Recreation and Parks for three years and overseeing his third Carousel Festival
Echeverria said he was excited and proud to watch this event come together once again.
just because there is so much that goes into it,” Echeverria said
“I do love the fact that we have a two day festival
which it's really tough to pull off a two day thing
because it's tough to be able to coordinate with all of those folks like ‘Hey
you're giving up a whole weekend to be here
and we need you here.’ But it's really nice.”
This weekend is also a favorite of Collier’s who has seen members of different generations visit Burlington City Park
see the Dentzel Carousel and be transported back to their youth.
I used to ride this when I was this age,’” Collier said.
Those memories are some of her favorites from working at Burlington Recreation and Parks.
she was the great grandparent,” Collier said
which were grown and the grandkids all here together
it's really community oriented and really family oriented
In addition to the many attractions already present at Burlington City Park, local businesses and organizations such as the Painted Grape, Hollywood Horror Show and Maller
and Crawlers Jeep Group came out to the Carousel Festival.
“They offer great services,” Echeverria said
“They're going to come out and they're going to provide those services at a small fee
I think it enhances the experience for festival goers.”
Festivities will continue from noon to 5 p.m
The carousel and other attractions including the miniature train
cars and boats are currently open on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m.
Each ride requires tickets which are $1 and can be purchased at Burlington City Park

Volunteer treating a patient inside the Al-Aqsa Clinic on April 26
uninsured patients find something increasingly rare: completely free healthcare.
The Al-Aqsa Community Clinic offers medical exams
mosque support and partnerships with local hospitals
the clinic was created after Khdour noticed the medical struggles of refugee families
What started as a small operation with one doctor and donated medicines quickly expanded to serve patients from across the Triad
“I thought it would just be for refugees,” Khdour said
I was surprised by the amount of people who are not refugees
an interventional cardiologist at Cone Health who volunteers at the clinic
emphasized the risks of untreated medical conditions for uninsured patients
“We know that healthcare is very expensive in this country,” Arida said
they don’t have access to regular healthcare
We try to provide them with the care they need before their conditions worsen
Emergency rooms are not the place for chronic health issues.”
For uninsured patients in North Carolina, even routine medical care can be costly. According to Sidecar Health, regular doctor visits, including any necessary lab work or imaging, can cost nearly $400 out of pocket while specialist consultations, such as orthopedic surgeons
Khdour said they collaborate with hospitals like UNC Medical Center
Duke University Hospital and Cone Health to ensure patients receive the treatment they need at no cost
Greensboro Imaging provides free X-rays and Cone Health contributes an electronic medical record system
their appointment — everything,” Khdour said
they’ve been taken care of one hundred percent.”
operated by volunteers — including Elon University students — also provides medications free of charge
Arida said providing free medications is essential to many patients' well-being
“The most rewarding thing is that we’re able to give them these medications,” Arida said
“And 90 percent of these medications we’re able to offer from our own pharmacy.”
Many patients at the clinic have complex medical conditions
Khdour said the clinic has discovered numerous cases of cancer among patients who had no idea they were sick
“We discovered a lot of patients have cancer and they are unaware they have cancer,” Khdour said
“They thought it was because of their diabetes or their blood pressure
we found out they had cancer — some stage four
city zoning limits them to operating three days a month.
but soon we’re going to go back to the city.”
Muhammad Arida talking to a volunteer at the Al-Aqsa Clinic on April 26
He treats a variety of gastrointestinal issues
“Everyone here is a volunteer,” Ahmed said
“We take time out of our own weekend schedules to see patients
The main thing is the sense of satisfaction because the majority of these patients are uninsured.”
Ahmed said the clinic operates with a level of professionalism that sets it apart from other volunteer-based practices
“There are volunteer clinics where I did my residency fellowship,” Ahmed said
“This place is so unique that every aspect of it and every volunteer works as if they are very accounted for and it works so professionally that anyone who comes here would not feel that it's just a volunteer clinic
Patients would get everything with the standard of care and evidence-based medicine.”
the clinic offers women’s health services in partnership with Cone Health
they can do the pap smear and the mammogram for free
if they come through our clinic,” Khdour said
“They know we already checked them and we make sure they qualify for the service.”
The clinics' next operating days are May 3 and May 17
Khdour also plans to open a free dental clinic
which she said would be the first of its kind in the U.S
She also hopes to have a completely free hospital one day.
