GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Honor the story of Jo-Ann Fabrics with an ornament celebrating a familiar name in American fabric and craft retail. The business opened as the Cleveland Fabric Shop in 1943 and became Jo-Ann Fabrics in 1963, later growing through acquisitions and changing corporate identities. Rebranded as Joann in 2018, the chain closed its last stores in 2025, while its intellectual property and private labels were later acquired. This keepsake connects collectors and former shoppers to a memorable chapter of creative retail history.
Jo-Ann’s history began in 1943, when German immigrant families opened the Cleveland Fabric Shop in Cleveland, Ohio. Following expansion, the shop was renamed Jo-Ann Fabrics in 1963, combining the names Joan and Jacqueline Ann. In 1969, the business became a publicly held corporation called Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. It acquired the 342-store Cloth World chain in 1994 and House of Fabrics in 1998; that retailer had also operated as Fabricland, Fabric King, and So-Fro Fabrics. In September 1998, Fabri-Centers changed its corporate name to Jo-Ann Stores Inc., and its stores were renamed Jo-Ann Fabrics. The company went private after a 2010 buyout announcement and 2011 stock-market delisting, then returned to public trading in 2021. It rebranded as Joann in 2018. After Chapter 11 filings in 2024 and 2025, the chain began liquidating in February 2025; its last stores closed on May 30. Michaels later acquired Joann’s intellectual property and private labels, but not its stores.
