Michaels Completes Acquisition of Joann’s Intellectual Property and Fan-Favorite Labels

  • On June 5, 2025, Michaels finalized its purchase of Joann’s trademarks and proprietary brand lines, such as the Big Twist collection, while excluding any of Joann’s physical retail locations.
  • This acquisition follows Joann's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and closure of about 800 stores, prompting Michaels to expand its crafting offerings.
  • Michaels has added more than 600 new fabric, sewing, yarn, and quilting products and plans to increase selections in 280 more stores by year-end.
  • Michaels CEO David Boone said, "We're honored to welcome Joann customers" and noted fabric searches rose 77% and sewing searches 39% on Michaels.com.
  • The acquisition lets Michaels better serve customers, respond to rising demand, and build momentum as a leading North American destination for creativity.
