JOANN Inc has benefited from the growing interest in crafting and DIY activities, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when many people were spending more time at home. However, the company has also faced increased competition from online retailers such as Amazon, as well as other specialty crafting retailers.

Overall, JOANN Inc's financial performance has been positive in recent years, and the company's focus on crafting and sewing supplies has allowed it to differentiate itself from other retailers. However, the ongoing competition from online retailers and changing consumer trends will continue to be a challenge for the company.
