After exiting bankruptcy just last year, JoAnn Stores has filed Chapter 11 again, and it looks like this time they’re done. Gordon Brothers (the company currently liquidating Big Lots and some years back A.C. Moore) is the “stalking horse,” which means the company is open to other bidders, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. If no others come along in the next 60 days, they will begin going out of business sales at all locations.
