BELMONT — The Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store at the Belknap Mall Shopping Center (next to the N.H. Liquor Outlet) will be hosting an open house on Thursday, August 25 for its Make Over Celebration. There will be an official ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. and the first 100 customers will receive gifts. Sewers and crafters now have a refreshed location where they can shop, discover and save with a wide selection of merchandise and inspiration.
“We are very pleased to offer our loyal customers a new and expanded store,” said store manager Bart Horner. Jo-Ann’s new look includes an expansion from 11,000-square-feet to 18,000-square-feet; new lines of product including jewelry-making; Wilton cake decorating, and high-end custom framing. In addition, educational classes will be offered in quilting, sewing, expanded scrap booking, cake decorating, and jewelry-making for ages eight years and up.
The expansion will also create 24 new positions at the store. For more information, call 524-4832.
