What’s for sale at Modesto locations?
The Joann restructuring site says the company is focused on minimizing “the negative impact on all Joann team members, vendors, customers and communities.”

As of Monday, May 5, the stores are offering up to 70% off all remaining in-store merchandise, including:
- Art supplies
- Craft activities
