Target is ending its popular senior store hours for Covid-19–we are so surprised!
The big box chain announced that not only will it be scaling back it special hours for senior citizens, pregnant women and other people defined by the CDC as “vulnerable”–but it will also be extending its store hours for holiday shopping.
