Burlington will move into this closing Joann store's space
Clothing retailer Burlington will assume the lease for the retail space for a closing Joann's store in Lady Lake, a Lake County town close to The Villages.
Burlington will assume the lease on June 1, according to court filings in Joann Inc.’s bankruptcy.
Joann is closing each of its nine Central Florida locations, along with hundreds of others nationally.
The Joann location in Lady Lake is the only local lease noted in the filing as being taken over by another retailer through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. The company said in February it would go out of business, after it filed for bankruptcy last March and again this January.
