    I hope our Walmart gets the fabric back too. I have not been in there to see if there is a sign or not. There was none last week....
    I don't care for the cut and packaged fabric. There is no real selection... The area is has gotten smaller and the electrionic dept. so big... I so hope they bring fabrics back..

    I have heard that 'all' fabric from Walmart is coming back. We have about 5 within a 10 mile radius and 3 of them have decent fabric

    not all will get their fabric departments back.

    if there is a cluster of walmarts within about the same distance, for example, some might and others won't.

    I was in MN to visit my sister and we went to a super Walmart 12 miles from her. They didn't have a fabric department at all. so I asked why. They said they didn't want to compete with a local store that sells fabric.It's a Ben Franklin!The nearest Quilt shop is over 30 miles away.Go figure!

    I was told our WM was told they could have fabric & she turned it down. :( When the community heard WM was coming to town, everyone was so excited. They thought they would have fabric & crafts. Big disappointment!! There is a quilt guild in the area & they're hoping for fab. I don't think writing anymore letters will help. Guess we'll have to continue driving a distance to get what we need. :(

    With the promise of a super walmart in our small town, the open walmart in the next town ovr, 15 miles away, they have added many food items, frozen and canned as well as produce to the store. The craft and fabric department has gotten smaller and I dont see then adding a fabric department back. They have some pre-packaged fabriic and such, but I don't see them going back to bolts. The closest fabric store is a small storefront with yarns for knitting and a wall of assorted fabrics. After that, you must travel 30 miles in either direction to find a Joanne's or quilt shop....
