evidence: While several customers expect Walmart to operate 24/7 again, the company announced a reduction in hours. These are the stores that will close earlier. [...] Until lockdowns kept shoppers at home, Walmart had locations that operated 24/7. However, with the arrival of COVID-19, the company chose to change this practice. Since the health emergency ended, thousands of customers have been waiting for Walmart to operate again under their previous schedule... but as the company responds to shifts in consumer demand, the 24/7 schedule is unlikely to make a comeback. On the contrary, Walmart has announced that they will limit hours further at select locations across the country.
