Just read an article in the Palm Beach Post saying the same thing. It said Walmart had lowered its shelves and emptied the aisles trying to appeal to "higher income" buyers. However their "same store sales" have declined for the past 7 quarters and so now they are going to increase the product selection by about 11% at most stores, raise the shelf height and bring back center aisle offerings! Fabric was one of the items mentioned that would be brought back :-)
