While its a small store they are very organized. They have guide arrows in the isles and distance markers by the registers. They also offer curbside pickup and have the parking spot well marked outside the front door. Very pleased with my purchases and the money I saved. Will definitely be going back there.

Ive shopped at Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts Store for over 25 years.This past Sunday I went to my nephews first, football Jubilee. Since the morning was cold, I went to my car and took a couple of fleece, team throws. When my brother-in-law saw the team throws he liked them a lot. After the game, I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and bought his favorite team fleece. I made my brother-in-law a reversible team, fleece throw. I hope he likes it.

I used to go to Joanns alot but they are closing stores so now I go for materials to make things like blankets. They do have some things but less expensive at a larger place..what I do like is you can use multiple coupons to save money. I really like that. Love when you find something like monkey and you know your child will be so happy.Im happy they have atleast one Jo-ann near me. Have cute items like this cute reusable bag I got that says be what you want to be.

A bit pricey for items you can find at Marshalls or TJ Max for half the price.. They did have unique home decor items that you wont find at TJ MAX or Marshalls....

Review №35

I can’t say enough about this store. The staff and the large selection of fabrics and other craft supplies. The staff were super friendly and so helpful. It made our visit pleasurable. I was amazed by the fabric selection they had. I went to another “craft store” in Waterford and was very disappointed. While in Waterford, we called JOANN to make sure they were open. We made the trip and we were so glad we did. They were a life saver. Highly recommend this location.

Helpful and courteous employees made my complicated transaction, super easy! And didnt feel like it was a burden at all. Definately a bonus being the holiday season! 🎄

Review №47

Huge selection! A couple of the employees were helpful however there are a couple employees that seem like youre putting them out of their way when you need fabric cut. The younger girl that was at the register was awesome! As for price some stuff is expensive and you can get the exact same for way cheaper at other stores. Some stuff like the red dot fabric (in the back of the store ) is a good quality for a good price! I think the key with this store is to take your time and look around.

The woman at the fabric cutting table today 1/5/19 was absolutely wonderful. I was having a problem with an online order and she did not hesitate to help. I wish I got her name, bit she deserves a raise :) excellent customer service

I dont know much about sawing. I had a question on affixing a logo patch to my hat. The lady behind the fabric counter was extremely helpful in finding a solution to my concern.

Review №52

Joanns is close to home thus very convenient for when I need yarn to start a new project. However, if the store wasnt as clean as it is, the staff as super friendly as they are, or the stock as competitively priced and abundant as it is I would travel as far as I needed to in order to be completely satisfied with my experience. Joanns is a great store. I highly recommend that you go there. I mean it! Now. Go there now!

Review №56

Without many choices for fabric in my area, if Im going to make the drive I always go here. The stock is organized and theres always a coupon or sale to help take a dent out of the pricing. Coupled with reliable service and quality products, Im a happy crafter.

Review №57

What Norwich crafter doesnt like Joanns? Friendly, helpful employees. The store is always neat and organized. Theres always a sale and coupons offering 20-50% off. Great prices and really good parking.

Love the store itself. Getting coupons on your phone from Joanns website WHILE IN the store is a nightmare to say the least. Its an issue that really needs attention. Thank you.

A chain store with tons of items needed for home projects and lots of seasonal home decorations. Be sure to have your coupons ready. It is nice that they do accept competitors coupons as well. Lots of crafty goods and jewelry making accessories.

Too hot in store. Norwich store seems to use different coupon rules. Only good thing they have different fabric than Waterford.

Al
Review №82

They have a really huge selection of fabric as you would assume from the banner of the store but they also have a lot of great craft and art supplies. The prices may be little higher than what you could find online at other stores but you do get to see everything in person which has its benefits for some crafts.

Really inspiring place. I walked in and was flooded with crafting ideas. They have tons of neat fabrics and are willing to help you with your project! My only gripe is that the fabrics can get a bit on the pricey side.

Review №90

This craft store is ok, but the building is very dated and old. The floors are worn and it smells a little funny inside probably from the age of the building and being musty. As far as the store goes, they have just about anything you would need in the crafting areas and the employees were extremely helpful while I was looking for something I couldnt find. The prices are a little high but if you look online for coupons or join their Club you can save usually 25 to 60% off on at least one item and sometimes your whole purchase which is nice! I live in the northeast corner of Connecticut and can only get to Jo-Anns Fabrics when Im in the Norwich area which isnt often. I wish they would build one somewhere near there Brooklyn, Putnam or Killingly shopping areas!

Review №96

The store has nice fabric and many other things. I havent been to this particular store in a while; staff were unfamiliar to me and, with the exception of one young woman who suggested where I might find a particular fabric, the current staff are not nearly as helpful as those in the past. I witnessed this with another customer as well. Even the girl who helped me, only pointed in the general direction of what I was looking for. In the past, someone would have walked me over to find it. Please note that the store was not busy or short-handed.Also, I had my 26 yo autistic son with me; we approached the cutting counter and while saying hi to one of the women behind the table, he extended his hand towards her to shake hands. I always dissuade him from doing this with strangers, but this woman actually pulled her hands back, up, and away as if my son had some horrible disease! I called my son over to me telling him, once again, You cant shake everybodys hand. At the same time, this woman mumbled something about having to cut this other ladies fabric and literally reached around my son and pulled bolts of fabric from the customer. My son was just trying to be friendly; obviously she was taken aback but I felt that she was very rude to him. He does this wherever we go and even if people choose not to shake his hand theyll acknowledge him. Her reaction was totally inappropriate and it upset me, although I was more concerned for my son and didnt voice my thoughts. I wanted to be the better woman here. I wonder how she deals with differently abked customers?The cashier was friendly and pleasant, which was a refreshing way to leave the store.Ill be going back to the Waterford store next time.
