The lady in the Fabric Dept. said that the founder of Wal-Mart diied and that his son (s?) took over the business and don't feel that a fabric
department is bringing in enough. (and a Party Department will?) Ours will close at the end of April. I think the new owners will be in for a big surprise! Here on Long Island, New York, we have a party store on practically every corner! There is a Jo-Ann's next to our Wal-mart. They keep raising their prices! And now without the Wal-mart Fabric Dept, they will raise them even higher. I'd rather eat dirt than pay higher prices at Jo-Ann's..... |
Our Walmart already closed theirs and JoAnn's closed two years ago. We are left with very expensive fabrics now.

Sorry to hear the sad news... What are these corporate people thinking :evil:

Dunno, but I'm mad as well. Hopefully they won't get to Oregon any time soon. I know of three that have fabric, crossing fingers that they'll stay...

Wal-Mart corporate does not have a friendly customer policy. They come in and price the local shops out of business, and then close down departments and force customers to shop what THEY decide you want! I choose not to support them. :?

ours fazed out fabric this winter also...the local dime store quit carrying zippers when Wally moved in and I spend all one day looking for some...sent Wally a nasty email and told them what I thought of the whole thing. I local dime store stocked up on them now. They get alot of my notions buying now. Linda

The Wal-Mart petition is still alive
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_pe....cgi?savefab&1 over 42,000 have signed it, but the last signers were in April 2008, so the past year has dragged on and no one is paying any attention to the people who have opposed their corporate decision. What a shame! Whatever happened to "the customer is always right?" June |

Stupid people -- don't they realize that when we go in to buy/look/touch fabric that we also buy other stuff????
We still have a fabric dept. store at my nearest WalMart but I'm afraid any day it's going to be gone... :x |
