It has been a relief to stop in and purchase some of the needed materials to keep my students engaged whether it was the Playdo for Mitosis modeling, Distilled water for labs, or the organizational use of ziplock bags. The ability to stop in at 7am and purchase these materials was a life saver. I didn't have to skip lessons because other stores open up much later in the day.
The store was very profitable and supported by the whole community, it's a shame that we remained loyal to Walmart, while Walmart turned and walked away.

Each of the markets were completed within the last fiscal year. I would gladly give up one of these stores to allow the one in Italy to remain open.

My husband and I are both disabled and we became dependant on our market being there for our medicine. They chose to close the Italy Walmart without careing for the community and the people it was hurting. You have added a huge burden on my family, and im sure on the entire Italy community. Big corporate greed, not home town service is what Walmart is about. My heart breaks because you have hurt the elderly, disabled and the Italy families that depended on y'all. I hope you in the Walmart board of directors are right with your Lord because "in 1962 when the first store opened in Rogers, Arkansas we have been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our customers. Our business is a result of Sam Walton's visionary leadership, along with generations of associates vocused on helping customers and communitys save money and live better. This rich heritage defined who we are and what we do today." What happened to that Walmart the one Sam Walton's belief and hard work built and started? You are not the same Walmart with the same beliefs that that he wanted.

It was the only pharmacy in our small community and surrounding communities of Avalon, Frost, Forreston, Five Points and Italy. The elderly must drive over 15 miles to the nearest one without it. Too many are unable to travel that far unassisted. Please save our Walmart!
