Could a Joann fabric, craft store be closing near you? The national retail chain is declaring bankruptcy for the second time in a year. What we know

Only time will tell whether Joann, the nation's largest retailer of fabric and crafts, will survive in Northpark Mall. The company recently filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time within a year.

Experts say the rise in store shutterings is driven by rising online retail sales and consumers converging on big one-stop-shopping chains and platforms.
