Joann (formerly Jo-Ann Fabrics) will be moving into the former Gordon’s space at 725 Veterans Memorial Blvd. They currently operate a smaller store a few blocks down Veterans and another Veterans store near David Dr. The national retailer recently went through a rebranding to focus not just on fabrics but also to showcase products to compete with companies like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby.
There is no word yet on when the store will open. The Wilshire Shopping Center property has seen a bit of a resurgence over the past few years with the addition of several new retailers including a new Jason’s Deli which is scheduled to open later this year.
