Just sent my 2 cents in!!

OK, ladies, if you belong to any clubs, guilds, online groups, yahoo groups, whatever, be sure to give them the link:
http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx and ask them to write in to corporate. All it takes is one executive to remember what customer service is all about to make a difference. |
Just sent a email to our Walmart in Clanton, Alabama. They have been getting so much fabric in just bolts of it. When I spoke to a salesperson she told me that when it was gone there would be no more, they are not to re-order. What a shame the fabric it beautiful and there is just so much.

Dear Glenda, Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the fabric department in your local store. As with any merchandise decision that we make, we have based our decision to reduce the stitching and fabric departments on customer demand, which does not appear to be as high today for a full stitching and fabric offering in some markets as it may have been at Walmart in the past. In keeping with our emphasis on being a store of the community, Walmart is converting the fabrics and crafts department in some stores to a newly expanded assortment of merchandise that focuses on life's celebrations. We are thrilled to offer our customers this exciting new crafts and celebrations center that makes available craft and party planning needs along with information on current trends and new ideas in the area of life's celebrations, such as holidays, weddings and birthdays. In those stores where the new crafts and celebrations center is placed, merchandise commonly referred to as 'notions' will be included in the product offerings - such as sewing machines, yarn, needles, thread, etc. As a part of this conversion, most of our new and remodeled stores that opened earlier this year, as well as a small number of existing stores, will feature the new crafts and celebrations center in place of bolt fabrics. Walmart will continue to carry cut fabric in most of our stores. Due to the continued evaluation of our stores, we are unable to share a list of existing stores scheduled to receive the new crafts and celebrations center at this time. Sincerely, Walmart Customer Care |
I sent one to my local WM and to Corporate Headquarters! Sure hope this works! I really want them to bring back the fabric section!!!!!!!!!

Our new Walmart has a fabric dept. but it is not "fun." It does not draw you in like a fabric area should.. There are other Walmarts with fabric areas where I can spend much more time and $$. This one disappoints me.

No wonder New York is fighting them all the way! The new pups in the corporate office will find out soon enough - don't mess with Grandmas. Sears did a lot of the same things, and almost lost everything. They got the bright new management fad idea to replace all the fulltime employees with part-timers. They're back up again, but nothing like they could have been.

I went to our Wal-mart her in South St.Pete. Florida and they said they are not leaving and they just received a whole new shipment of fabric that matches. They got in Thomas Kinkad material and is it ever beautiful. Prices are only $5.55 a yard for that. Other prices are $2.50 to $4.44.They also had materil that I bought at JoAnn's for $8.95 and I only paid $4.44 for the same material.
|
Sorry this has been going on for a long time. so far nothing has helped.
|
yup, I received the same form letter response too.
My reply was: Thank you for your response, unfortunately this is the last time you will hear from me, because it is clear you people don't have enough sense to listen. I enjoyed the fabrics in your store, and now that it's gone, I have no need to go there. |
Done...
|
Just sent mine and told them that since I have to drive an additional 20-30 minutes to get to a fabric store, that I have begun shopping at Meijer and Target instead of Walmart since they are closer to the fabric store than Walmart. Hopefully, we can all hit them where they hurt and get some fabric back!

The Wal-Mart in the Trenton/Lawrenceville/Princeton, NJ area just started the liquidation of the fabric department. The 25% sale has started. I don't think they are hearing us or care. Fabric was the only reason I went to Wal-Mart...no need to go any more.

I think I will email them, but I would really like to tell them what I think of their remodel here in town and what is truly wrong with the store.
|
Well I did put my 2cents worth in. They still have material but there is talk of taking it out??? fabric is loosing the store money???? Not from this board :lol: :lol:
|
Thanks. Went immediately & sent e-mail.

from experience.... people will wait for the change of season... then buy the 4.00yd. fabric for 2.00 or less, then the profit margin is gone... (me included!!!!! hehehe), but it was fun!!!!
