In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, several major retailers are adjusting their hours to accommodate the elderly and others at risk of coronavirus complications. This includes people over 60 as well as those with weakened immune systems and those with disabilities.
These special store hours for elderly and other at-risk individuals can help keep these shoppers safer, since they would not have to go into a crowded store, which can make them more vulnerable and put them at greater risk of contracting the virus. Special store hours can also help at risk individuals get the items they need—like food, cleaning supplies, and personal care items—without having to worry about empty shelves.
Most of the major retailers have already announced special shopping hours for elderly and other at risk shoppers, but many smaller regional retailers also offer senior shopping hours. If you don’t see your favorite store in the list below, be sure to give them a call and ask. Some stores will also work with at customers and offer curbside pickup.
