New York (CNN Business) Walmart will stay open later at most of its stores in the United States, joining other large chains that have started to stay open longer than they did during the early days of the pandemic. By Monday, more than than 4,000 of its 4,700 US stores will start closing later, the company said Friday . All Walmart stores will continue opening at 7am, except on Tuesdays, when stores open an hour early for seniors. A Walmart spokesperson said the additional hours will allow customers to spread out over a longer period of time. Making this change now allows workers to get adjusted to the extended hours before shopping ramps up in the busier holiday quarter, Saunders said.
