kris-alyx devereux : →http://www.twitter.co/avalone_09one question is that all walmart stores in richmond or just a select few that'll have virginia tech stuff, is there any mention of the ashland store of what they'll have as well.

derrickjust another classic example of Virginia thinking that because we live here, we ALL support the local teams, why not a little variety, for the rest of us.

JennyHi, Kris-Alyx,
I'm checking with Wal-Mart on your question, and I'll let you know soon what I find out.

JennyKris-Alyx,
I found out more details from Wal-Mart about its team selection. It only is selling the team items at its stores that have Garden Centers, because these areas are being converted into Game Time merchandise areas. Apparently, Wal-Mart only has one Richmond area store that has the Game Time merchandise. That store is on Brooke Road. Wal-Mart doesn't have these items in its Ashland store. I hope this answers your questions.
