Wal-Mart Stores Pull All Free Papers
Since the start of RomeNewswire’s print edition, The Newswire, readers have been able to pick up a free copy at their local Wal-Mart stores.
However, recently the home office of Wal-Mart sent a directive to remove all free news paper racks from the store’s vestibules. In many of the locations, store managers have moved The Newswire inside the store and patrons continued to have the free paper available to them. However recently, the area district manager for the two Rome Wal-Mart’s, along with the Wal-Mart in Rockmart and the store in Cedartown, has directed that the papers be removed all together.
We are asking that our readers contact their local Wal-Mart store and let it be known that they would like to continue to pick up the weekly Newswire paper at the Wal-Mart locations.
You can continue to pick up The Newswire at hundreds of locations around Floyd, Polk and Cherokee County Alabama (including the Wal-Mart in Centre).
For those of you who normally pick up your Newswire paper at the local Wal-Mart’s, we recommend the East Rome Kmart where we have doubled our normal weekly drop to handle the additional traffic.
Here is the contact information for the stores. Please contact the local store as well as the District office.
Thank You,
Jerry Duke
Publisher, The Newswire
