Saturdays in July and August, most Walmart stores across the nation are providing sensory-friendly hours between 8 and 10 a.m. Some areas have already started implementing this “quiet” time, but in locations where school starts after Labor Day, July 22 will be the first day for customers.
“We are striving every day to create a culture where everyone feels they belong,” Walmart’s executive vice president of general merchandise, Julie Barber, stated in a press release. “This year, Walmart is taking steps toward creating a quieter shopping environment that’s more enjoyable for customers who live with sensory disabilities.”
