Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft

Older location (from the So Fro Fabrics days), and is a bit tired as far as how their interior looks. They have a racetrack floor plan, so the tile floor is pretty shoddy looking. On a positive note, the staff who assisted me were nice, and the merchandise selection looks pretty fair.
In comparison, this location and the University Park store in Clive combined cannot hold a candle to the newly opened in 2012 location in Ankeny.
I realize that a store must meet budgets and thresholds to receive a new location and/​or renovation, but I think this store needs one. Perhaps corporate could talk with the shopping center owners to expand into the next door vacant space and remodel to a fresh look? That would be an improvement! They do have a current logo on their storefront, at least. And say they want to move to a potential new location, I recommend one of the new tenant spaces at the recently constructed Southridge Mall! But with Best Buy, OfficeMax, Petsmart and The Home Depot in the same shopping plaza as Jo-​Ann, I think they should stay put!
