Bliss Marketplace was set to take over the former Joann Fabric and Crafts store at 8509 Bond Road in Elk Grove, according to a post from the business. Joann Fabric and Crafts closed all of its stores, including the Elk Grove location, in 2025 after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The 35,000-square-foot Elk Grove store would be Bliss Marketplace’s largest location, with space for more than 200 vendors, according to the post.
