“Pick ‘n Save and Metro Market are committed to help support the shopping needs of the elderly in our community by providing a less crowded shopping environment," Roundy's Division President Michael Marx said. "Therefore, we are reserving shopping time for the elderly and those with underlying health concerns who must leave home to obtain their groceries. This will help them avoid busier and more crowded shopping periods. We encourage our customers to respect these designated store hours for seniors and to plan their shopping trips around this timeframe.”
Pick 'n Save operates close to 100 stores throughout Wisconsin, and Metro Market operates 10 stores. The brands join other local retailers like Sendik's in adding special hours just for seniors.
As of Thursday morning, there were 118 confirmed positive cases of coronavirus in Wisconsin.
