JoAnn Fabric is closing its doors - WVVA TV Bluefield Beckley WV News, Weather and Sports

The Bluefield location for JoAnn Fabric is closing at the end of the month or when they finish selling all of their product, whichever comes first.

Bluefield resident Betty Kuppusami is the co-chair of a group called the Patchwork Quilters. She says there are many in the area who frequent JoAnn Fabric for supplies. Not only will quilters miss having a store like Jo Ann nearby, Kuppusami adds that sewers and bakers will miss the store, too.

"Wytheville has a fabric shop, and there's a fabric shop in Princeton,” said Betty Kuppusam. “But they're mostly just a "fabric" shop; materials and so forth. JoAnn is very unique,in that they have a little bit of everything."
