WALMART ANNOUNCES NEW STORE HOURS, RESTRICTIONS ON SOME ITEMS

Walmart has implemented significant changes amid the coronavirus pandemic, including putting restrictions on some items and creating a seniors only shopping hour.

The following changes are now in effect:

Store Operating Hours

Walmart U.S. stores will adjust operating hours to 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Stores that open later than 7 a.m. will continue their regular starting hours. This will further help associates restock the shelves for customers while continuing to clean and sanitize the store. While the store hours change for customers, associates will continue to have access to their regular scheduled shifts and full hours.

Special Seniors Shopping Hours

Walmart is offering special shopping hours for senior citizens until April 28, 2020. It will be every Tuesday for customers aged 60 and older one hour before the store opens. Pharmacies and Vision Centers will also be open during this time.

Item Limitations

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.

Walmart will temporarily shut down the Auto Care Centers to allow those associates to focus on stocking and cleaning in the rest of the store.

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