It could be. Some times not ALL stores in a chain are able to run a department (due to staff, best value, etc). Also some BIG stores are trying different things for areas that have not done well for them in the past (not ALL the Walmarts lost the fabric dept, so maybe in the ones that Walmart felt they lost money before they could be leasing them out). I'm sure Walmart will try anything to see how it works in an area. I live in any area that Walmart had to FIGHT!!!! to get into, so over by my house the ONLY put in a SMALL store (food only), to try and get people to love them (I still want a BIG Walmart). I feel that a lot of stores are trying a lot of different things to make more money as well as make more people happy.
