I have 3 "local" Walmarts (1 1/2 hrs driving time) One was doing inventory on every bolt (actually measuring every bolt!!!) last time I was there. According to the clerks, the non-quilting junk fabric has not sold at all since last year, although quilting fabric has. I am guessing that this was a part of the same discovery process.
I know I wrote to WM that I could buy groceries in lots of places, but the novelty fabrics I use for my charity quilts only come from WM and are virtually the only reason I go there, although I usually purchase other things on the same run.
One store cut out fabrics. The third went to precuts, then back to bolt fabrics, I am told.
