Sussex Walmart has change of heart on layaway policy

Another victory for Bonnie Cox and her Facebook group opposed to losing the layaway service at Walmart stores in Saint John and Sussex.

As of late this afternoon, CHSJ News learned that the Sussex store will keep their layaway policy until December 18.
No word on what caused the change of heart in the Dairytown.
Bonnie Cox also tells CHSJ News that membership in her Facebook group increased to 600 people.
She is concerned that low-income famillies with young kids would have difficulty buying presents this Christmas without the help of the layaway policy.
A Walmart official did confirm to Cox that doing away with the layaway policy was a corporate cost-saving measure.
