Craft retailer Lincraft is shutting down its remaining shopfronts across Australia and New Zealand after more than 80 years in business. Multiple outlets report that the company is moving to close all of its physical stores, ending long-running operations supplying fabric, craft materials and homewares to customers. Coverage agrees that the closures will affect several hundred staff, with one report citing around 300 employees impacted by the move. The news accounts describe Lincraft as an established retailer known for catering to hobbyists and makers, with stores operating for decades before the decision to withdraw from bricks-and-mortar retail. While details on timing and any ongoing online operations are not provided in the excerpts, the overall reporting consistently states that the closures will be comprehensive, covering the rest of its stores rather than a limited trial shutdown. The action marks the end of the retailer’s traditional store network after an extended period serving craft communities in both countries.
