Walmart Implements Sensory-Friendly Shopping Hours Nationwide
TL;DR
Walmart is reintroducing sensory-friendly hours from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at all its U.S. and Puerto Rico stores, starting November 10. These hours aim to create a less stimulating environment for individuals with sensory disabilities by implementing small changes such as static TV walls, lowered lights, and no radio. The pilot program received overwhelmingly positive feedback, prompting Walmart to extend the initiative indefinitely. The company encourages customers and associates to provide feedback to further enhance the sensory-friendly measures in their stores.
