“In Michigan today you can buy weed but not seeds,” State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, a Republican, tweeted. The order notes large stores must close off areas of stores meant for carpeting, flooring, furniture, gardening and paint. The limits apply only to in-person sales and do not apply to stores with less than 50,000 square feet.
Walmart told WXYZ-TV, a Detroit affiliate of ABC, “Michigan customers are able to purchase baby car seats, baby furniture and other infant products at their local Walmart. We are reiterating this direction with store management to ensure consistent service to our customers across our Michigan stores. Customers are also welcome to purchase these items from the convenience of their home through Walmart.com.
