Shoppers Drug Mart has taken a cue from other responsible retailers and is making its first hour of shopping exclusive to senior citizens—the segment of our population most at risk of dying from coronavirus.
"Shoppers made the announcement in a tweet late Monday night: "Starting this week, Shoppers Drug Mart is dedicating the first opening hour of shopping at our stores to our customers who need assistance or consideration, including seniors and people living with disabilities.
"We encourage you to check with your local store to confirm operating hours. Shoppers Drug Mart will also offer the 20% Seniors Day discount on regular priced items for the first hour each day every day. This is in addition to Seniors Days each Thursday."
