Differe...Audrey,<br /><br />I was hoping you would chime in!<br /><br />Different sales region must also mean "better" sales region. I don't like going to Short Pump either but can you imagine what kind of fabulous stock that store will have? Mmmmm...<br /><br />Also, doesn't it seem like the new store has less novelty fabrics?lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-20114206782825362122011-08-04T09:28:19.126-04:002011-08-04T09:28:19.126-04:00I am mid way between both stores.

I can hop on RT 288 and be at the new store in 15 minutes, and the other area Hancock store is just a mile down Midlothian Turnpike from the new JoAnne's. It is bigger and has different fabric from the Broad St. Hancock store because it is in a different sales region. I have it from a very good authority, a friend working at the new JoAnne's store, that there are plans to set up a big new JoAnnes further out on Broad St. in the near future. Probably in the Short Pump area which I absolutely hate to drive in.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-8937901601267954092011-08-04T08:51:52.035-04:002011-08-04T08:51:52.035-04:00I'm dealing with some Jo-Ann Fabrics issues my...I'm dealing with some Jo-Ann Fabrics issues myself. I wish there was a better Jo-Ann than the one I've got. What I really wish is there were another fabric to that offered something other than fleece and quilter's cotton for people who really sew.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621589278068001456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-1615801261838947092011-08-03T23:45:35.902-04:002011-08-03T23:45:35.902-04:00I have been to two Joanns in my area.

My experience with the Lancaster JoAnn&...@ Diane,<br /><br />My experience with the Lancaster JoAnn's by the mall is a bit different. I have been going there for years. The manager in particular is very friendly and cheerful. It IS a smaller space but I don't think that can be helped. I have encountered crabby employees at both but more frequently at the Willow Street JoAnn's (I live in WS at them moment so frequent that store regularly). But to be honest I am noticing crabby employees a lot of places these days which is unfortunate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-28015474967031414242011-08-03T10:20:14.913-04:002011-08-03T10:20:14.913-04:00Kyle, For the store numbers, I checked the website...Kyle, For the store numbers, I checked the website's store finder tool. I really wanted to get this post/review out for the local sewers that might read my blog and wanted to give them as much information to find the new store.

The first store is only 3 miles away, but sadly, a frustrating disapointment.
