CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW)- Walmart officials announced on Wednesday, March 18 they will have new operating hours and a special event for senior shoppers.
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, our associates will continue to have access to their regular scheduled shifts and full hours.
Special Shopping Hours
Knowing that 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.
Pharmacies and Vision Centers will also be open during this time.
Item Limitations
To serve the broadest number of customers and ensure they have access to the key items they are looking for, Walmart 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
To help support workers and focus on the most critical areas of the store, Walmart will temporarily shut down their Auto Care Centers to allow those associates to focus on stocking and cleaning in the rest of the store.
Also, the Vision Centers will operate on their normal schedule, providing essential services only such as glasses repair and helping customers pick up existing orders. One associate will serve the needs of Vision Care customers, while the other associates will help in the rest of the store.
Clarksville, Tennessee has three Walmart Super Centers and two Walmart Neighborhood Markets.
