Walmart cuts hours at 24-hour stores and other locations nationwide starting Sunday due to coronavirus

Walmart is cutting store hours starting Sunday at its locations across the U.S. due to COVID-19.

Stores normally open 24 hours will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. until further notice, the company said late Saturday. Other stores, which are typically open until midnight, will also have reduced hours.

"This will help ensure associates are able to stock the products our customers are looking for and to perform cleaning and sanitizing," Dacona Smith, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Walmart U.S., wrote in a blog post.

However, not all of Walmart's 5,000-plus stores are affected by the change. Stores that operate under more reduced hours will keep their current hours of operation, Walmart said. Some stores, for example, regularly close at 10 p.m. or open at 7 a.m.

"As we make this change, associates will continue to work the hours and shifts they are scheduled, and our supply chain and trucking fleet will continue to move products and deliver to stores on their regular schedules," Smith wrote.

The Walmart store locator at www.walmart.com/store/finder did not have the updated hours listed as of Saturday night.

Grocery store chains including Florida-based Publix, New York-based Wegmans and H-E-B are among retailers closing earlier. Changes at more regional and national retailers are expected in the coming days.

The coronavirus is spurring panicked shoppers to stock up on products ranging from cleansing wipes to peanut butter as they prepare to hunker down in the midst of the growing pandemic.

I'm going early to see if there is anything left

There will be things left.

From what I have seen in Nevada, fresh vegetables are pretty available.Oddly, no canned tuna but higher caloric value sardines were still there. Same for herring and trout. Condiments and lots of boxed stuff my wife and I don't know anything about was still there. Boomer garbage-food I guess. Frozen meals but no frozen vegetables. Carbonated water but no still. Flour was mostly gone apart from the more expensive stuff like 00 and Einkorn. Etc etc.

All depends on what you want. It feels good to not need to buy anything to keep the family fed. If you are trying to stock up on basics you are way behind the curve.

The wife and I swung by Target this morning to see if they had some items we couldn't get at the grocery last night. I set 2 gallons of distilled water on the check out turned to face my wife and the checker and when I turned back someone had taken one of the waters and disappeared.

I don't drink it. It goes in the CPAP machine.

I was being sarcastic. Trying to get a rise out of some of the resident idiots. 🤠
