NEW JERSEY (77 WABC) – One of the more popular supermarkets in New Jersey has made a decision to help out customers over 60 years old. Starting on Thursday, all Stop & Shop stores will open at 6 a.m. for those 60 and older, allowing them the chance to shop until 7:30 a.m. until the store opens to the general public.
The special shopping hours have been added to help the older community who has a higher risk for the spreading coronavirus.
More than ever, it’s important we come together as a community to serve those in need, including advocating for our seniors. Beginning 3/19, all Stop & Shop stores will open earlier from 6:00AM-7:30AM daily to serve customers who are age 60 and over only. https://t.co/qmZhPUnlpJ
