South Jersey Market Shaped by Closures and New Openings

South Jersey Market Shaped by Closures and New Openings

South Jersey’s business scene is undergoing significant changes. While some familiar stores are closing their doors, new ones are popping up, offering fresh opportunities.

For foodies, there’s something exciting on the horizon as well. Here’s the latest update on local businesses this week.

Joann Fabrics Closing Several South Jersey Locations

If you’re a crafter or sewer, this news might be a disappointment. Joann Fabrics is closing 500 of its 800 stores nationwide, including locations in Mount Laurel, Deptford, and Mays Landing. The Cherry Hill store will remain the only one in the region.

The closures come after the company filed for bankruptcy for the second time in a year, struggling to recover from financial losses as the pandemic crafting boom faded. Joann saw a surge in sales during the pandemic as many people took up hobbies like sewing, but demand dropped as life returned to normal.
