The Walmart closest to where I live, in Cincinnati, has never closed their fabric department. However, there does not seen to have been plans for cleaning it up since there are always piles and piles of bolts. Finally on Monday I noticed a steel shelving unit that had lots of sale tags on the ends of the bolts, as low as $1.50 and $2.00 per yard. I asked the clerk where this came from and her reply surprised me. She said "we are cleaning out old stock!" Could that be an indication of changes on the way? I surely hope so. For months, since before the closing were taking place, this was one of the most neglected departments in this store. The clerk who waited on me told me that she had been told to stay out of the department (she used to work in Fabrics) but she measures and cuts for customers when she is awake they need help. Management does not seem to have their plans ready to move ahead.
