Online it says they are open until 9 on Saturdays. When we walked up to the door there is a sign that says they close at 5, but it was actually 5 minutes to 5 and the door was locked. An employee opened the door to let someone out and I asked I could come in and grab one item since it wasn't 5 yet. The lady a yelled at me "It's 5 according to our clock!" Yikes! read more

The manager at this store, Zina, is absolutely horrendous to interact with. My wife and 3 year old daughter went into the store the night of 1/17/25 and had a horrific experience. This was all due to your "manager's" attitude. My wife was looking for a nice fabric to use to create a new table cloth for our home and she needed help measuring it out. As anyone would do, went seeking for the nearest employee. Zina was there cutting fabric. Right from the very start Zina had a disgusting attitude. She made it abundantly clear how annoyed she was that my wife asked for help. She snatched the cloth out of my wife's hand and let out the largest most disrespectful and flat out gross sigh. A lot more went on that caused my wife and my small 3 year old daughter to start crying. When we go to Joann's, the last thing I expect is for a "manager" to make my family cry just for asking for assistance. Zina took zero accountability and refused to apologize for her nasty ugly personality. Something needs to be done about her. She is ruining your store. I went and let the other manager on duty know about this incident and she was incredibly sweet and helpful. I believe her name was Meghan. She needs to be recognized for her excellent customer service. She even seemed extremely fed up with Zina's awful customer service skills by stating they get consistent complaints about Zina. I need a store manager ranked above Zina to contact me in regards of this incident. We are very disgruntled. Zina should not be working in any form of customer service. I've checked other reviews online regarding this store and there are MANY reviews about Zina. She makes children cry, she hits dogs, she's mean to the disabled, and she's just an unpleasant person. She makes this store so ugly. read more

I like JoAnn and this time I was able to buy the 5 inch foam to replace a cushion that had the 4 inch. This JoAnn is located in a non descript shopping area that has way too many stores vacant, Tenants are leaving in droves and the only remaining anchor is now JoAnn. Landlord must be a slumlord of sorts, I have seen too many stores move elsewhere in the past 5 or 6 years and I hope JoAnn stays since it is very conveniently located as far as distance to where I normally stay when in town, if they move I really hope they find a better place because after Verizon and Stein Mart left this parking lot looks deserted. I was able to find a 4 inch metal ring for a tow bar that nobody else carries around, not even the big guys like Home D and Lowes and for that alone I give them a 5 star. Well stocked store and the ladies that work here were very helpful. Will go back read more

Horrible service at the Falls of the Neuse Road location in Raleigh, NC. They closed earlier than the time posted online, so we came back during their "revised hours" and they still tried to close early. The closing time they had posted on their doors was 5:00pm. We were at the door at 4:56pm and the doors were all locked. An older lady came to the door and reluctantly let in our teenaged daughter. She then barked out "you have 3 minutes hurry up!" What kind of person yells at a child? Very unprofessional. I wish I could leave zero stars. Do not shop here! read more

I have a crafting problem and Joann is my favorite place to feed it. Today, I got stuck in the glitter section. It was on sale and I needed more glitter.

It used to be a pleasure to buy fabric here. Lately, it's been horrible. They will have the least number of employees working. And they wonder why they are on the brink of Chapter 11. read more

This has to be the worst place to shop for ANYTHING!!! The manager is rude and uncouth on her best DAY! This store is unorganized with merchandise EVERYWHERE in the store! I know it's a fire hazard and unsafe conditions! Nothing is organized therefore; you're suppose to ask for help! The manager speaks with you with an attitude for simply asking a question about the location of merchandise! In fact, I told her to STOP speaking to me because her A@@ is RUDE! This store is short-staffed, and operating on a reduced business schedule ...I am POSITIVE people quit due to her lack of management and leadership! Kick rocks! Go to the store in Cary! They always have a welcoming demeanor! read more

I ordered something online 12-13 days ago. They don't know when they'll ship!! They stopped replying to my inquires. I filed a BBB claim which I think was pointless. And, they won't let me cancel or modify my order so I can get it elsewhere. They will ship it when they want to and charge me. I will fight the charge w/ my credit card company. It's hard to believe they stay in business with policies like these. If you want aggravation like this, do business w/ them. If not, don't! read more

Every single location has different hours. When you call the store to get their hours, the automated greetings all say 9a-9p & rings to a call center instead of the actual store. Hate I drove 2.5 hours (one way) to this store for it to be closed. Save your time, gas, & money; shop elsewhere. The staff in the store are normally super friendly though, the company just needs to get it together. read more

I've shopped at this store for more than 20 years and never had a bad experience. I also shop at the Cary store and recommend both, although the Cary store is a bit bigger. Fabrics are well-organized and their stock of other craft items, particularly knitting and embroidery, is excellent. They've got a great selection of storage items to help you stay organized, and if you are decorating for a holiday or hosting a holiday-themed party you should definitely shop here. Their Halloween and Christmas decor is just awesome. I've never had to wait long even when the store is at its busiest. The cutting table is always more than adequately staffed and so skillfully organized that the line moves fast. Be sure to sign up for their mailing list and download their app. Sales are frequent and you will receive coupons that give as much as 50 or 60 percent off an item! Patterns can be extremely expensive, particularly the Vogue and Butterick lines, but they are deeply discounted at sale time and you can often find Simplicity and McCall on sale for 1.99 or even .99 cents each. Last but by no means least - the staff knows their stuff. They've helped me with technical questions and provided me with tips on my sewing projects many a time. If you are a seamstress or crafter you should definitely shop here. read more

Everything online--including the app--says they open at 10, but a handwritten sign on the door says they open at noon on Sunday. Maybe update your online hours? I pulled in at 11:40 on a Sunday for an online/curbside pickup order. They don't do curbside, which the app says they do, and when I asked the woman locking the door in my face if they were closed she told me to "read the sign" as she walked away. read more

#1 sign your pj bottoms are your fave hang-out piece of clothing, let alone to sleep in: one morning, in a sleepy hurry, you accidentally rip out the tie-string on one side. Now, most people who bought this pair of black, very comfy pants off the clearance rack at Gap would have simply tossed them out unless you are Susie Homemaker and have the sew-how know-how to fix them. Being the most non-Susie Homemaker on the planet, I went on the mad hunt to find a replacement tie so I could have them repaired. I found something close at Jo-Ann Fabrics. This is a crafty store for Susie Homemaker -- innumerable types, styles and colors of fabrics, thread, ribbon, patterns, tools and accessories. If this is your type of thing, Jo-Ann's is for you. I found something like I was looking and at a good price. This store's goods isn't my thing, but I was desperate to save my pjs bottoms. The store was rather difficult to navigate and no one seemed to notice or offer to help me. Interesting stuff in the store, though. Update on the pjs: Upon further inspection, the waistband will have to be opened and amazingly I still have the original string that I ripped out. The pjs are currently with a seamstress being repaired. The black almost-replacement string I got at Jo-Ann's will find another use! read more

The store hours in google it says store hours for Sunday is until 6pm. We got to the store at 5:01 and the store was closed. This needs an update ! read more

The overall experience when visiting a JOANN store has diminished over the years. It has become the McDonalds experience, full of Chinese manufactured fake household decor items and less about giving you the tools to make your own amazing creations. Over the years, this location has shrunk the scrapbooking paper crafts section to a far cry of its former self, leaving us jonesing for good stuff to make cards and other papery things. The fabric. uh. well. Low class sometimes...just cheap-o mass produced feel to much of the fabric. The outdoor range, though is usually really nice. Think Target. The staff here has always been nice. Not line Wilmington. Sad, how I only go there now, out of supreme desperation. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was looking online for a specific yarn that was said to be available for in store pick up same day. "AWESOME" I thought, drove the 20 minutes to the store just for them to not have it available and when asked about it I was told, "it's somewhere in those boxes and we don't know where so maybe Thursday come back." I'm sorry, what?! It's Monday, let's get our job done shall we? read more

Worst customer service EVER! They aren't very friendly, knowledgeable. It seems like I always get attitude, especially when trying to use one of their coupons. I was looking for a ruler that was locked, I waited for 10 mins for someone to find a "key". I just said never mind, I will get on Amazon. I only come here because it's really close to my house for somethings. Other than that I will continue to purchase 99.5% of my items from Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby has amazing customer service and products read more

Very rude and manager and bad costomer service. I left letting her know I would be taking my business somewhere else. On the way the woman walking at the same time said to me, they are kind of known for that attidude at this store. There are too many options for places to shop for the same goods to consider going back there. Michaels, target, walmart Amazon all sell the same singer sewing machine I went into buy. I'll be purchasing it from one of those vendors. read more

I drove for 45 mins to get to this store and was very disappointed! The lace selection was very limited and the customer service was horrible. I witnessed a customer come in and ask a staff member for help and she totally ignored her. Her customer service skills were horrible along with her attitude. I called back to speak to the manager to report this. I was told by the manager that she would speak to the employee and that it was my perogative to report this on another level. I began to wonder if it was the manager with the attitude problem?? Very dissatisfied with this store. Wont be visiting it again. read more

I am not a big fan of this Joann's, but I keep going because it is the closest option to me. This store needs a big overhaul, I use to have a fairly new Joann's by me and it was leaps and bounds better than what is going on here. It is clear the store hasn't been updated in decades, due to this the selection can be quite slacking. Sometimes I find I have to go to Michael's to find the crafting item I need since this Joann's just doesn't have it. The employees can be a little hit or mess, some super friendly and a few who clearly don't want to be there. The line moves fairly quickly and they are always happy to scan all your coupons for you! A plus is that parking is super easy since there isn't a ton going on in this plaza. read more

I don't usually shop at Joann, but we needed fabric to make masks for my son. There is zero organization to this location and the employees are RUDE. I understand that during this time, working retail can be stressful, but being absolutely awful to your customers makes it worse. At one point in time they had a number system going, but when we were in there, they had papers over the screens. The girl that 'helped' us literally had multiple papers pinned to her clothing that said 'PLEASE KEEP SIX FOOT DISTANCE' that was underlined and highlighted in red. I just can't get with that. We are all dealing with this pandemic, and you are just making everyone uncomfortable. I won't return, even after we are all comfortable with the world situation. read more

I have been to this location for the past 10 years and I've always complained to myself about the older employees there. There attention to detail, there no personality and the detail to try to dictate your purchase. I was over joyed Tuesday evening when all I saw there was young, eager, willing to help, joyful, courteous,informative,knowledgeable young men and women. I even was asked in one aisle "can I help you find something " I almost passed out!! Never have been asked that at this location. Totally happily overwhelmed this time. read more

The staff can be hit or miss, nice vs rude. The lady who cut my fabric couldn't have been nicer! They were all wearing masks. They have curbside pickup but they are really too short-staffed to do it well and handle their in-store traffic too. Some of the check out ladies seem to hate their jobs. read more

Like Lesley F, I also felt myself decaying as I waiting in the line to get some fabric cut. I have heard other people talk about how Jo-Ann's has great fabric selection but the service is awful. It was not just idle chat, that was the truth. I found the items I needed and was dreading the visit to the cutting table, but decided to buck up, get a good attitude going and it will be fine. Passive-aggressive Shannon came out to play as the lady who was helping us acted as if she had just taken a big scoop of poo-poo to eat before I walked up and asked her for help. Oh geez!!! Thankfully, I only had 2 items for her to cut. As she made snarky comments about the fabric, how I should bring it to her next time, my taste in fabric, etc. I came back at her (not very grown up, I know). I think I will resort to ordering fabric online next time or look for a fabric locale that is privately owned nearby to give them my business. Hopefully they will appreciate it. read more

Fantastic Joann's. The store is well stocked, laid out well. And the staff are very friendly.

JoAnn's claims to have curbside pickup. When I arrived they said they don't honor it. Said I have to stand in line to go inside store. Contacted customer service and haven't heard back in days. Avoid JoAnn's. read more

They had exactly what I was looking for. This is the place to go if you're looking for specialty fabric. Everything is clearly labeled and organized. The fabric cutting station was also clean and organized. Don't forget to take a number from the dispenser. read more

I don't know what it is about this place but there is always a wait to get the fabric cut and the staff and the feel of the place is depressing. Prices are reasonable. I go here when I can't make it to the Mill Outlet. read more

It's ok. I feel that Hancock had better quality fabrics and deals. The faux fur here is very poor quality and the staff doesn't cut fur right. Resulting in your car/house looking like a shedding dog. The cutting lines can get long. However they tend to run 50% specials on remnant fabric. They have so many cuts and colors which makes the trip worth it. Everything else I will pass on. I must say the staff is extremely friendly ! Sign up for text alerts and get weekly coupons ! read more

I've always been a big fan of Jo-Ann Fabrics. It's accessible and easy to shop even if you are not a master quilter or sewing expert. I stopped in to look around with no real items in mind. Sometimes you come across something cool when you don't have an agenda. The store is pretty big. It has a great selection of fabrics, ribbons and notions. No project is too small or large for Jo-Ann's. I like to change the buttons on jackets and blazers to jazz them up and Jo-Ann's has a great selection of buttons to choose from. One thing that may annoy some is that the line seems to move like molasses. One reason is if anyone purchase fabric it can cause a hold up but it's like that at any fabric store I've ever shopped so it is actually a common occurrence. FYI in case you hate waiting in lines. read more

Don't call these people on the phone! First off, they act like they have NO time! I'm a potential customer and I don't like feeling rushed. I will let their corporate department know about this! read more

Plenty of crafty stuff. It's like Michael's but with a fantastic fabric section. Unfortunately I put all my fabric away because I was thrown off by a rude customer yelling at me for not saying excuse me. What can I say, I had a toddler with me who was slightly unhappy and I was in a mommy haze. Being rude because someone forgot to say excuse me seems way worse than forgetting an excuse me... anyway.... The staff took there time getting to the register (I had to by my toddler a duck toy) because three of them were discussing something some other staff did. "No she didn't!" Was one of there comments in there little circle discussion. It was just not the best experience. If I go back I will review this place again. Maybe it was just an off day. read more

They did not honor a 20% off total sale which I discussed with a fellow customer and gal at the cutting table. Since we were told to be respectful because everyone is stressed I did not push it. After spending $130 and using 40% off of one cut of fabric, I came home and opened up my e-mail. Yep, there was the 20% for online and in-store purchases. Obviously, employees are unaware of coupons that ran May 2-6th. Yes, after much calling to another store who answers their phone, I was graced by a phonecall by Raleigh store. I heard excuses and yes, if I made a trip back they would figure it out. I live a good half hour away, so another hour would be spent in travel. At this point of making and donating hundreds ofmasks for over a month, I will use the fabric purchased today and be DONE! JoAnn's online has been spotty for a good month with the inability of validating my address. Yeah, the one I have used for 2 years. Yes, I am frustrated but wanted people who use this store to be sure they stand their ground better than I did today. I was respectful and did not challenge. read more

Jo-Ann's is one of the best fabric stores that I've been to, and definitely the best fabric store in Raleigh. They have a really nice selection of common fabrics that stay constant throughout the year (like cotton and quilting fabrics), and they have a good seasonal selection that rotates throughout the year. My two favorite things about the store: the remnants, and the coupons. There's always at least one remnant bin that's typically 50% off, but sometimes can be more than that, too. During busy sales like the Veteran's Day sale, there can be up to 2-3 remnant bins. Just as a tip, if you're looking for just cheap scraps for random projects, wait until the last day of a sale weekend, especially if you're looking for holiday fabrics - other people are probably buying up the same fabrics that you are, and the scraps will be put in the bin the next day. The coupons are great - if you have a smartphone, definitely download the app. One thing that's great about this store is they just scan the coupon off your phone, so you don't have to print any coupons out to use them. Also sign up for their mailing list - you'll get emailed good coupons, on a pretty consistent basis. One of the downsides to the store is that it can take a while to get some fabric cut, so running up there on my lunch break doesn't always work out. Generally there's a line, so you take a number and wait for your number to be called. Sometimes people don't realize this and end up waiting around for a bit before they do, especially new people (it took me a good 3-4 people to figure out where to pick out the number on my first visit - check one of the columns around the cutting table). But that's something you get used to. Outside of Jo-Ann's, the only fabric store I've been to in Raleigh is Hancock Fabrics. Compared to Hancock, Jo-Ann's has a better selection of both fabric and notions, and Hancock doesn't have a smartphone app (that I've been able to find). read more

I would like to leave a review for Kathy and her team at this Joann's store specifically. I have placed several online orders during this pandemic and have experienced nothing short of amazing customer service. They have had an over abundance of orders coming in and some how they still continue to have a smile on their faces. Thank you for allowing us to still be able to receive our fabric and other supplies. I miss coming in and browsing and will be in as soon as we are allowed to, but in the meantime I'll continue to shop online and use curbside pickup. Thank you to all of the staff at this Joann's for going above and beyond!! read more

If there was less than one star I would rate this store less! The employees are rude, uninformed and disinterested in helping. For a very long time I have tolerated their less than helpful manners. However, today was the worst! Trying to gather information and supplies to make and donate face masks was met with rudeness. They do not have the supplies needed. They don't care to help. The know their website is not equipped to handle the load of buyers wanting to help. Yet, they continue to advertise including through their sales emails for the very products they don't have in stock. Isn't that bait and switch?! I'm not sure how they get to be classified "essential" and stay open? I'll continue to search for other vendors for ALL my supplies now and after this pandemic! read more

Sadly I have a love hate relationship with Joanne's. I love to walk around and look at the fabrics and all of the crafty stuff. I hate standing in line to get fabric cut and then stand in line to check out. Joanne's need to hire more staff. Plain and simple. read more

I shop at Joann's all the time but usually during the day. The ladies who work the weekly day shifts are so helpful. I had to run in this evening to pick up something quickly and my app wouldn't work and was requesting a new password. The lines were long and Meghan the cashier was extremely cold and not helpful. All for the the silly coupon. The previous ladies would have pulled the silly coupon out and scan it, but not Meghan. read more

This location was an absolute mess. Couldnt find anything i needed outside of the fabric and nobody knew where i could find anything.

Great selection for a wide variety of things. For a better selection and great prices on upholstery fabric, go to Mill Outlet Village.

I love this place because it's very spacious. You can take hours walking around looking at stuff. While I don't mind waiting in line, I do mind the workers attitudes. Most of them are kind. However, there is one older worker there that is just downright rude. She's always working the cutting table. If shes there when you are, you'll know right away who she is. There is one worker, however, that I find uncomfortable to work with. She is an older worker who works at the register and goes by a name that starts with the letter "M". Every single time I deal with her I feel uncomfortable. It happens when I want to add a coupon or another product (like a snack) to my purchase. Every single time I do that, she sighs or rolls her eyes as if I just gave her loads of work on top of what she has to do (talk with the other ladies at the register). All she does is click a button to allow these new items into the transaction. I don't expect to be treated like royalty, but I don't expect to feel like I'm causing some harm to the company by being a customer. read more
