Stores offer special hours for seniors

Posted

Most national grocery store chains are designating special hours strictly for seniors and other shoppers who are vulnerable to serious illness from the coronavirus pandemic. Big, all-purpose retailers like Target, Walmart, and Costco are devoting special times when stores are open just for seniors as well.

On March 18, Target stores began to reserve the first shopping hour each Wednesday “at stores nationwide for vulnerable guests — including elderly and those with underlying health concerns,” and Walmart stores announced “an hour-long senior shopping event every Tuesday for customers aged 60 and older.”

Locally, the following stores have store hours reserved exclusively for senior citizens and others who have been specifically vulnerable.
