However, with the fabric dept, you have ladies that may come in to just grab a spool of thread, or zipper, and then they start to look around, and before you know it, they have found some awesome fabric they cannot live without. It is likely that I will return again and again, because I will need thread, zippers, interfacing etc.
I think Wal Mart needs to really examine what makes them money over the long haul. Not what makes them money a couple of times a year (like Christmas, etc). They honestly need someone in the higher ranks that thinks like a woman. Just my 2cents worth : )

A friend of mine works at W/M in S. Ind. says her store will be stocked early Nov. The one in my neighborhood was suppose to have fabric when it opened-[ 4 yrs ago] but they decided against it at the last minute But due to all the complaints from the locals and the fact that there are more employees cars in the lot than customers they are now re-arranging the store to put a fabric dept in by end of July.-- Nothing like waiting til I move out of the area.So this will make 4 stores I can get to in 20 min.of the new place that never done away with fabric :D :D
