My husband works in the garden center and has talked with the manager quite often about how his wife(me!) has missed the fabric dept along with alot of her friends. The manager told Jim that those stores that recieved the most complaints when the fabric was taken out will be the ones most likely to get fabric back in the store.
For those of you whose stores aren't showing any signs of getting the fabric back, talk with the manager; our store is taking a little longer to get the fabric back. The manager told Jim in Sept they would be putting the fabric dept back in. So there's still a chance for you too!
I think this proves "money still talks" and Walmart was hurt in the pocketbook when we no longer had the fabric depts. Chris
