Walmart has announced it will be offering "sensory-friendly" shopping hours every day in stores all across the country.
The nation's largest retailer first tested out sensory-friendly hours just on Saturday mornings this summer during back-to-school season. During that pilot program, stores changed TV walls to a static image, turned off the radio and lowered the lights where possible
The company said the feedback from the test was overwhelmingly positive.
Starting Friday, Nov. 10, all Walmart stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico will have sensory-friendly hours from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. local time every day. The current plan is to continue offering these daily hours indefinitely.
Cedric Clark, Walmart's executive vice president of store operations, said all customers will be able to find a "calmer shopping experience" during these morning hours.
