Walmart Full Service Fabric Center Closure Petition
#121
I live in a very seasonal town in Florida. In the winter, our population doubles, when the "snow birds" come down. There were local rumors that our fabric dept. was going to disappear when they remodeled, but it didn't. I think the elderly in this community had a lot to say about that. This newer fabric dept. is not as large as the original but at least we still have one. I use their fabric quite a bit and I'm happy with it. They tried to close the Wal Mart up the road when they were building this new store a few years ago, but that didn't happen.The old store is not the "super center", and to be honest, when the original store was just a regular Wal-Mart, I liked it a whole lot better.

I agree with most other quilters. I have used WM for kids quilt, childre outfits, etc with no problems with the fabric. Knowing what fabric you are looking for,the weight of the fabric for what you are making determine what fabrc to buy. I also teach sewing classes to boys and girls in a low income area and I alway sent them over there. I was very disappointed when they closed our fabric depart and severally reduced the fabric department at another WM I visit on vacation.

I signed that same petition 3 times and they closed and will close everyone of the fabric depts. I miss their fabric dept., as its about 60 miles to the nearest Jo anns. We have nothing here in our small borough.

We have continued to have our fabric department, as we have not been remodeled yet. This Sunday (yesterday) our circular from Wal-Mart declared. Fabric is Back!!! They are bringing back the fabrics!!yes! It's about time. I guess the drop in sales told them how much we spend there while buying fabrics and notions.
