The company eased COVID-19 restrictions on store hours in August as well. The other pandemic-related store changes, such as weekly senior hours, will still continue now.
“As we continue reopening our operations, the health and safety of our associates, customers and communities will guide our decisions,” Walmart said in its statement, noting some stores could have shorter hours if "mandated by a government agency."
The company had previously announced that it would be closed on Thanksgiving, and that it would spread Black Friday over several days this year to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Walmart will still require masks at all locations, and stores will open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday, Nov. 27th. Safe shopping, y'all!
