May I ask...Is "Mr. Lee" a manager of the WalMart in Canton,TX...?

I feel if I write I need to write to a manager of our store..

But since this is a nation wide thing that WalMart is doing...We should be going over the local managers head to the "head honcho's"....Anyone know who that might be or what his address is...That is where this order for the stores to sell cut pieces or not having a fabric dept. at all is coming from.

Patti,
My local clerk also told me to direct the letter to Mr. Lee. It's my understanding that he is a vice president/cfo of sorts at the corporate headquarters and that the decesion to return fabrics would be up to his dept.

Also as mentioned on the other wal-mart post, my local mgr, (whom I've known personally more than 20 years)hates the fabric dept and thinks this is the greatest thing ever. He actually kind of laughed off some of the clerks in the stores concerns. He also wasn't forthcoming this summer when directly asked about this. He indicated that ribbons and trims by the yard were all that were going away. Now, to give him the benefit of the doubt, he may have thought that was the case and then this Mr. Lee changed it for our store which is sch'd for a remodel next month.

Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about Mr. Lee's role at WM.

Hi,

I went to Walmart's corporate website. Lee Scott is the CEO for Walmart.

I called and expressed my feelings about them changing, and in some cases eliminating the fabric department.

I plan to write them as well.

Lee Scott is the top person in Bentonville AK hometown of Walmart.

I sought the advice of a person who makes a living "telling" companies what is needed. HE said to write to the one where the "buck" stops. And that with this it would take every one and every one they could contact to write. Please do contact all and lets send the letter to the top of the Corporation.

Happy Trails to you and yours,

Walmart has the best fabrics and I really wish that they would keep their fabrics. Lots of towns don't have fabric stores and it was nice that Walmart did.

Asking Wal-Mart to continue merchandising product in a manner that is not profitable to them is not productive, imho. Here's an idea: what if Wal-Mart sold pre-packaged fabric in different sized lots and made fabric swatches available for "feel"? For an effective letter writing campaign, you may want to consider proposing options that will work for both the consumer and Wal-Mart.
