Most of the walmart's I run across here in Texas have been really scaled back. This really presses my button. WallyWorld came in strong in these little towns, ran out all the Moms/Pops.....Then they want to close the fabric areas....now people are forced to go elseware for fabric. My mother is 80 and only goes to the big town if she has someone to drive her. there are no choices for her. Many people are in her shoes. Now we hear that they are going to fix it with prepackaged fabric. Translated, this means no one to cut fabric and if you do find some one, it will more than likely be the young person who would really rather not be there. Oops. I went back & read what I have so far. This must really push my BUTTON. Thank you for being there.

Ours has been gone over a year and I only go there once a month now, if then... Rather give my money to the other
local stores if possible. There is only one in town with fabric
left and it is on the other side of town. Just go to Hobby Lobby
with my coupon two miles away. WM loss!

But, it seems they will not be closing any more fabric depts. From what she told me Walmart has been getting petitions, phone calls and emails to keep fabric in their stores. Hopefully she knows what she's talking about.
