Fabric and crafts retailer Joann is closing all of its remaining stores after failing to find a buyer that would keep them open.

The clearance sale started Friday at the Joann fabric store on Kietzke Lane in Reno. The aisles were growing increasingly bare Friday afternoon as dozens of people bought fabric, yarn, craft supplies and home decor at discounted prices.

The national chain plans to close all of its roughly 800 stores across the country, including those in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado. Joann filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, the second time the retailer had done so in 10 months.

Joann is now set to close all of its stores after previously announcing the closure of "approximately 500." See a map of Texas locations.
