Joann's Fabric and Wal Mart
#14
Our local Walmart here said that some of the stores were closing out the fabric departments to make room to start selling alcohol. Another case of profits versus consumers wants/needs. I was not impressed nor happy to hear that. We will not be losing our fabric department here as sales are so high in this area, (it also helps that there is a liquor store only 3 blocks away,) but will be losing the ones located where my daughters live.

:shock: Say it ain't so!!! I have to drive an hour to go to Joann's in Wilmington, but they still have loads and loads of fabric. Our Walmart says the home office got so many complaints they think we'll keep our fabric for awhile, anyway. If it holds until Dec they say it will STAY, but who knows what these CEOs are going to decide to get the most out of us?????
Online fabric shopping may be our only options soon...

Hi--My WalMart said they are continuing their fabric department but quality has changed. My daughter worked for JoAnns at one time and she told me it was a publicly traded company. She couldn't find anything that said WalMart had bought JoAnns.

I don't have a Joann's in my area. The WalMart here was going to remove their fabric line so all of the local quilt guilds called the 800 number to complain, and they decided to keep it. The fabric section has not changed.
