As we all adjust to this new normal, grocery stores and retail chains are stepping up to better serve some of the more vulnerable populations during the novel coronavirus pandemic. A number of chains recently announced early opening policies to give senior citizens and other at-risk groups less-crowded space to shop. 

Panic-shopping has left shelves deserted in many places around the country, and at-risk people have had difficulty buying supplies. The move is meant to help make this challenging time just a little bit easier for some of those who need it most.

Here’s a list of stores with senior hours:
