"We lost fabric in a remodel a couple years ago. The store is so messsed up now, I couldn't stand another remodel unless they tried toreturn to straight aisles, all going north and south again.[/quote]
That is what our store did--remodeled, took away fabric dept and messed up the aisles. I don't go there as much as I used to. I would be very happy if the aisles would be like they used to....I don't know what they were thinking putting aisles every which way:(. Harder to find things:(. I am sure Sam is not happy with the way things went.

I live in Billings, Mt and they still have the fabric dept it isn't as big as it was before they did the last remodel which
has been at least 5 years ago. I liked it before but at least they still ha ve fabric on the bolt. They are suppose to start
a remodel this month but not as of yesterday. :?:

I was just at the one WalMart that still has fabric.... they are remodeling and will get in lots more fabric. I spoke to one of the workers and he said, it is about time they listened to you sewers.

I work for walmart (cashier) in Ellsworth Maine and our Walmart is not getting fabric in. Nobody can tell me why either. We got guns back and paint mixing back, but no fabric, no zippers, a little bit of thread. So not all Walmarts are bring things back.

We still have fabric at out Wal-Mart. My inside person told me that the big wigs of the company decided they made a mistake by pulling fabrics.They also plan on getting back their gun dept. It may take awhile but they do intend to bring fabric back.

I've heard all the talk about the return of fabric as well. And the employees you ask also have heard both answers. I would love to have fabric back as the nearest Joann's or Hobby Lobby for me is one hour away.
I said all along they were shooting themselves in the foot. The bean counters saw they weren't making a huge profit in the fabric department so decided to eliminate it. However, people like me shop for fabric then shop for our other things. Once WM took out their fabric, I saw no reason to go. I get most of my groceries at our local grocery store. They will even match WM's ads. They LOST business since I don't shop there hardly at all anymore I don't think they took that into account when making their decision to axe the fabric department.
And "pre-cuts" don't count as a "fabric department", no matter how you slice it.
I hope they bring our fabric dept. back. Until then, I just plan my trips better. And make sure I have my Joann's coupon before I head out. :D
