Walmart reserves time for its senior hour on Tuesdays from 6 to 7 AM. This hour is for customers age 60 and older who may be more vulnerable. Walmart's pharmacies and vision centers are also open during senior hour.
Their statement continued, "As for operating hours, right now our priority is making additional services available (auto care center, vision center, etc.) as it is safe to do so. After that we’ll decide the best approach to expanding hours."

Acccording to Mashed, Costco, Target, Sam's Club, and Dollar Tree have all made similar decisions when it comes to store hours.
