I talked to one of the people from home office at Wal Mart, about why they are closing the fabric depts. He said that on paper, that they weren't making enough money to pay for the space. He said people would only come in for the deals(Clearance). This was a couple years ago. I think with the economy changing, we are seeing more people shop for the regular priced fabric. May be if we all call 1-800-Wal Mart and give our opinion about closing them, it will make them take a second look at it. If enough of us call , they have to listen.
