I just returned from San Antonio, Tx and they never got rid of their fabric in the first place. Does anyone have anymore info on this?
I was a WalMart Fabric Manager for 8 years....Three years ago they expanded our store to a Super Center and did away with the fabric and most of the crafts department. I had left before that all happened so it didn't affect me. I happened to stop in the store yesterday and an old friend of mine who is still a Manager asked me if I was coming back because they were bringing the fabric back. I dont know the details and they are not doing it in all areas but some stores will definately be getting Fabric back.
Here ia a link to the Corporate website and their press release regarding fabric...
