What Macy's closure means for Cheesecake Factory

San Francisco is still in shock over word that Macy's will be closing their Union Square location. Now people are rallying to save The Cheesecake Factory inside that iconic location.

The Brief

    • Joann to close around 500 stores nationwide.
    • Over a dozen locations in the Bay Area have been impacted, including four in the East Bay.
    • Store closures linked to financial struggles and bankruptcy filings.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Joann, the struggling fabric and crafts retailer, announced Wednesday it will close approximately 500 stores across the United States, including over a dozen in the Bay Area.

The decision comes during a challenging period for the company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. This marks Joann's second bankruptcy filing within a year, citing issues such as weak consumer demand and inventory shortages as contributing factors.

Recent financial challenges prompt bankruptcy filings

Previously, Joann sought Chapter 11 protection in March 2024 and reemerged as a private company. 

However, continued operational challenges led to a second bankruptcy filing in January. Joann is now aiming to sell the business and has stated that closing "underperforming" locations is essential to facilitate this process.
