Joann Fabric & Crafts

[ynkeesfn82]

Joann's in Southington is coming along nicely. They have an electric sliding door to get in and out of the store. They're making part of the facade on either side of the part of the building where they'll put the sign green. I swear the landlord of that plaza is really stupid. There's no uniformity to the plaza's facade and a lot of the tenants have their own color schemes on the facades - Buffalo Wild Wings, Moe's, Shoprite, and now Joann's.

February 2014 is the tentative opening date.

Will the Joann in Southington be a smaller store or a super store?  Super stores are at least 20,000/25,000 sq ft.

Super store. 20,000 Square Feet. Twice as big as the store they closed in Southigton in '05 and twice as big as the Bristol store that the Southington store is replacing.

The Danbury location was demolished and replaced with a BJ's, it has since relocated up the street in the Shoprite plaza

The one in Newington, CT used to be located down the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin, CT. It was in the Home Depot plaza in a building of its own. It moved to Newington a few years after Lechmere became available. The building it was in is now vacant except for a Supercuts that took a small space.

It's official Joann Fabric & Crafts is opening in the old Bernie's in Southington, CT. Rumor has it the Bristol one will close.

It's official. The one in Bristol will close when the new super store opens in Southington. There is a sign up that announces that they are moving.
