My Walmart (waaaayyy upstate NY) still has a fabric department and I haven't heard anything about them closing. I hope not, cause they have some fabric in their I want to use for a quilt for my mom.
With that said, I hate Walmart. Do I shop there? Yes--once a week. We have other BETTER grocery stores in town, but Walmart is cheap. . . and with me out of work, we can't afford to pay twice as much at Price Chopper and Hannaford. . . . With prices as low as they are, I don't think they could ever go out of business. They force people to shop there--and they care nothing about their customers.
