Joann Fabrics is opening a new store at Silver Lake Mall in Coeur d' Alene. The store is actually a store relocation for the popular national fabric and craft chain that has had a location in Coeur d' Alene for sometime but will close that location after the new store opens. The former Joann location has been on 4th St. directly next door to Safeway in Midtown Coeur d' Alene.
The new store is part of a larger redo of the Rouse Properties owned mall. The new store will occupy the northwest corridor of the mall,the store will be in a remodeled space that was formerly several stores including RadioShack and Huckleberry Thicket. The stores displaced by Joann have all eather moved elsewhere in the mall or in RadioShack case closed altogther.
The Silver Lake Mall JoAnn Fabric store is larger then the old store. The walls blocking view of the store have all come down as of this post and the official opening is now expected for Feb. 15th .
