HUDSON, Ohio--()--Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, the leading fabric and craft specialty retailer in America, is excited to announce it will now ship directly to Canadian customers via Joann.com*.

“This expansion is a direct reflection of our commitment to being the best fabric and craft retail brand for our customers, Team Members, communities and investors,” said Travis Smith, Chief Executive Officer and President of Jo-Ann Stores. “This is an especially great development for fans of Jo-Ann in Canada who have been expressing interest in our products and services for years. Now, we can deliver those products and services to their front doors.”

Jo-Ann has the capability to ship to 12 of the 13 Canadian provinces. At this time, Jo-Ann does not ship to Quebec. To find out if a product is eligible for Canadian shipping, simply check the product’s description on Joann.com.

“The main goal of our strategic growth plan is to make the Jo-Ann customer interaction as convenient as possible, whether that means bringing Jo-Ann to new markets or enhancing the experience in existing ones. Our Canadian customers have long demonstrated a love for Jo-Ann, and we are ecstatic to be able to better serve them,” said Smith.

The Canadian shipping announcement is the latest milestone in the history of Jo-Ann, a company that was founded by two families who saw an opportunity to sell fabric from the back of their deli in the 1940’s. Since then, Jo-Ann has grown to become the premier one-stop-shop for fabric, craft supplies, inspiration, and more.

You can find all of the products and inspiration you need for any project at Joann.com and the recently launched Jo-Ann app for iPad®. Interacting with Jo-Ann on social media is easy, like the Jo-Ann Facebook page, follow @JoAnn_Stores on Twitter and Instagram, and get inspired by Jo-Ann Pinterest boards.
