For example, Food Lion, Publix, and Sam’s Club set aside the first hour of their business on Mondays and Tuesdays for seniors and other vulnerable customers. Target also reserves the first hour of its business on Wednesdays for senior shoppers. These stores open at 8 a.m.
Walmart
For seniors, Walmart’s senior hours offer convenience and ease of shopping. Walmart has a total stock of items on its shelves during old hours, and the stores will not be crowded. In addition, the stores’ pharmacies and vision centers will be open earlier for senior citizens with vision problems. The old hours will be effective for April 8 – 28.
Senior hours have been instituted at Walmart stores in the United States to accommodate the needs of seniors. Stores are expected to open an hour earlier than usual, with pharmacists and vision centers open until 8 p.m. These extended hours will also allow associates time to restock shelves and clean the stores.
Aldi
Aldi is a German supermarket chain that has tens of thousands of stores. They have special days and hours for senior shoppers, pregnant women, and physically challenged people. Senior hours and special days make it easier for senior citizens to shop, and they have a newsletter for older shoppers. They also have regular hours for everyone to shop.
While the general hours are nine to five, Aldi has special hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays for seniors and vulnerable groups. This allows people with health issues, the elderly, and pregnant women to shop without worrying about being exposed to foodborne illnesses.
Stop & Shop
To help the elderly, Stop & Shop is extending its senior hours to more stores. Beginning Monday, store associates will work longer to stock shelves and unload deliveries. Old shoppers can shop earlier than usual, from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Stop & Shop hopes this change will make their stores less crowded and more convenient for older shoppers.
In addition to Stop & Shop senior hours, other retailers are offering old shoppers early access to their stores. Whole Foods, for example, allows senior shoppers to shop before the general public does. Stop & Shop senior hours are also convenient. Seniors can shop for food and other goods from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday. Old shoppers can also shop at Dollar General and Big Y from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Target
Target Corporation, America’s eighth largest retailer, has extended its hours for senior citizens. Previously, old hours were only available for people over 65, but now, they’re open on Saturdays and Sundays, even during holiday periods. This policy aims to provide better customer service to older shoppers and vulnerable groups.
Senior hours are only available at some Target locations. Seniors should plan on visiting in the early mornings to avoid crowds. Target stores are less crowded during those hours, making them safer for seniors. In addition, the stores are freshly cleaned, making them an ideal shopping environment for senior citizens.
Dollar General
Earlier this week, Dollar General announced a change in its senior hours, including a one-hour earlier closing time on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The same announcement was made at other Dollar General locations. Beginning Wednesday, Vallarta stores will be open only until 8 a.m. for seniors, pregnant women, and disabled shoppers. The change was made due to the new coronavirus that causes mild symptoms but can lead to pneumonia and other severe illnesses. The White House also urged older Americans to stay home and rest.
This new policy will also help the company’s senior customers avoid the busiest periods of the day. Dollar General has 13 locations in the Lehigh Valley. The new old hours will make it easier for the elderly to go shopping in the mornings. It also hopes to provide a more secure shopping experience during the first hour of the day.
CVS
The company is redefining its senior hours. The pharmacy will now be open eight hours a day, from eight in the morning to eight in the evening. The pharmacy is also now offering home delivery services for prescriptions. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this service will be free of charge. The new hours reflect the company’s commitment to seniors.

Sam’s Club members
Sam’s Club has recently announced new senior hours and expanded services for at-risk members. Seniors and other members aged 60 and older can enjoy extended hours at their pharmacy, optical center, and other stores. They can also use a concierge service that picks up and delivers items to their cars.
Sam’s Club is also adding new services for members with disabilities, compromised immune systems, and elderly customers. The company’s first of these services will be a concierge service that allows seniors and people with limited mobility to shop easily. During these special hours, associates can help members with their needed items without leaving their vehicles.
In addition to senior hours, Sam’s Club offers curbside shopping, which makes it easy for those who need assistance to shop. Members can pull their cars into a designated spot and provide an employee with their shopping list. The employee will pick the items from the list and bring them to their vehicles.
Costco
The Costco Wholesale Club still offers special hours for its most vulnerable customers. These hours include a designated time for seniors, disabled shoppers, and members with immune system issues. However, the new hours are only sometimes available at all stores. While they used to be open five days a week, they are now only offered twice a week, from 9 to 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Since the outbreak of COVID in 2015, many stores have been offering special hours to lower the risk for people with this disease. Costco was one of the stores that took these extra precautions, but it is now making some changes. It’s no longer offering half-sheet cakes and bringing back free samples of certain items, but they’re now pre-packaged and protected with plexiglass shields.
