Walmart Announces “Sensory-Friendly” Store Hours to Help Shoppers With ADHD and PTSD

Walmart sign

Walmart is reintroducing its sensory-friendly shopping hours, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. every day, at stores nationwide. The aim is to create a less stimulating and more inclusive shopping environment for people with sensory disabilities. The company had previously implemented similar hours during the back-to-school season, making adjustments such as changing TV walls to a static image, turning off the overhead radio, and dimming the lights. Walmart has no planned end date for the program and welcomes feedback on how to enhance these sensory-friendly measures in stores.
