“It will just give them a bit of quiet time to get what they need."
Some grocery stores are now offering elderly-only shopping hours in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
Danny Burke, who manages the Iceland location at the Kennedy Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland, says this move will help create a safer and more comfortable shopping environment for older customers. Older adults, as well as people with underlying health conditions, tend to be more susceptible to contracting the coronavirus, according to the CDC. These elderly-only shopping hours could keep seniors safe by providing them with a cleaner, less crowded shopping environment.
