According to the company, Joann Fabrics will wrap up its liquidation sales and cease operations by the end of May. The company is down to seven locations in Houston, with the closing of the Copperfield location at 15520 FM 529, Houston, TX 77095, about two weeks ago. The original plan was for Joann to close four Houston stores in February while seeking a buyer. However, when a buyer was not found, Joann chose to close all stores and go out of business. Joann came to Houston in 1981 through their Showcase of Fine Fabrics stores. These stores would only last a few years in competitive Houston. The Joann name would finally come to town in 1994 when the company purchased competitor Cloth World.
