Hancock Fabrics

Why wouldn't Joann's just go buy all of Hancock's stock?

I was looking for colored ribbing at Joann's today and am feeling way over my head.

Good question- who knows?

They're pretty good at answering questions at Joann's- at least the Joanns closest to us. What are you making that requires ribbing? What kind of ribbing? Knit?

I can't discuss the project right now, as it's supposed to be a surprise gift.

Cool. Well, there's supposed to be at last one employee whose main job on the floor is to answer questions and assist customers with their 'project needs', so keep that in mind.

Maybe they're in almost as bad shape as Hancock is ... a lot of businesses that appear stable and solid are on shaky grounds these days (if you think the economy is in anywhere near the good condition or even "recovering" as the MSM and Obama Regime are telling you, well you're going to be in for a shock ... and probably soon).

Oh the lady dropped what she was doing and pointed me to the ribbing, which was what I came in for, without knowing what it was called. I just couldn't find the color I wanted.

Okay, so I went to the Hancock's in Wheat Ridge today. Today was the "official" start of the discounts, and there were plenty of people! Right now, the discounts are kind of 'meh' - about 20%. That being said, there are a whole bunch of fabrics available and I had no trouble finding plenty of high-quality stuff to heap into my cart. The liquidation company that bought out Hancock's paid @ $65 million, so they're going to want to recoup their money. I spoke with one of the employees, who said the company figured this sale would go on for a couple of months, because they also had to empty the warehouses. Judging with how busy it was (I waited in line for @ 1/2 hour, and they had four very efficient people at the cutting counter) I don't know if that's the case.

You may have better luck on their website, although that may be tricky if you have a specific color you're seeking.

That's because you shouldn't be doing anything for yourself, you selfish person you. You should be buying it retail because that employs more illegal aliens undocumented citizens at what should be a living wage and lets the government take their cuts off the top. It's all Bush's fault!

Nearly forgot. Hobby Lobby is discounting all their Coats brand thread to make room for their Hobby Lobby brand thread.
