BENTONVILLE, Ark. (WCYB) – Walmart’s store hours are changing, and stores will now open one hour early on Tuesdays for senior shoppers only.

According to the announcement, all of Walmart’s U.S. stores will now open at 7:00 a.m. and will close at 8:30 p.m starting Thursday, March 19th. Stores that already open later than 7:00 a.m. will open at their regular time. The company says the changes will allow associates more time to stock shelves and to clean the stores.

Customers who are 60-years-old and older will have their own special shopping hour before each store opens every Tuesday. The shopping hour will start on March 24 and last until April 28.

Walmart also announced item limitations on select products to make sure they don’t sell out as quickly. Those items include milk, eggs, baby food, formula, wipes, diapers, water, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies.

The changes come just days after Walmart changed store hours due to the coronavirus. The company says the results were promising, and these new changes are additional steps the company is taking.

Special Shopping Hours

We know our older customers could be more vulnerable to the coronavirus and to better support them, Walmart is offering special shopping hours. From March 24 through April 28, Walmart stores will host an hour-long senior shopping event every Tuesday for customers aged 60 and older. This will start one hour before the store opens. Our Pharmacies and Vision Centers will also be open during this time.

Item Limitations

We know communities are counting on us more than ever and we are determined to serve the broadest number of customers and ensure they have access to the key items they are looking for. Our stores will have limits for customers in certain categories including paper products, milk, eggs, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, water, diapers, wipes, formula, and baby food.

Essential Services

Our people are working hard to have every part of the store ready to serve customers. To help support our people and focus on the most critical areas of the store right now, we will temporarily shut down our Auto Care Centers to allow those associates to focus on stocking and cleaning in the rest of the store.

Also, our Vision Centers will operate on their normal schedule, providing essential services only such as glasses repair and helping customers pick up existing orders. We will have at least one associate to serve the needs of our Vision Care customers, while the other associates will help in the rest of the store.

I think every one of us has had to adjust our daily routines in some way, and it’s likely that we could continue. We are paying very close attention to our stores and communities and will continue making the necessary changes to help make sure our associates are taken care of and that our customers can get what they need. Let’s all take care of each other out there. Read more
