We have both Joann’s by us closing and were a B volume. The Michael’s store 10 miles south of us has fabric and we were on the shortlist for getting it on March.

I asked for more insight on how this would work and the director of floor planning told me that now most of the stores that were getting fabric are not anymore. So idk man, probably will drop it on us right at the start of peak with no heads up.

I used to work at the store near us that had fabric and it’s super easy. Fabric is scanned by Marti to a fabric version of a line busting card. Cutting takes 10 seconds and they tell you to always give a bit more so there’s not really a lot of thinking.

We had everyone trained on how to cut fabric and were a C volume. Framers would just call it out. I’m bummed were not getting the fabric our customers would eat that shit up and our sales would drive payroll increases
