Eighty-two years after its founding, fabric and crafts retailer Joann Inc. said it is going out of business and will be closing all of its stores, according to a Sunday announcement.

The Hudson, Ohio-based retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January, the second time in a year. At the time, it cited sluggish consumer demand and inventory shortages but promised to keep all of its stores open.
