Fact Check

Contrary to the viral social media post, Walmart has not announced a return to 24-hour operations. In 2020, the company ceased 24-hour operations in response to the coronavirus pandemic and adjusted its store hours to operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time.

Carla Landon, the Global Communications Director at Walmart, has confirmed to the Fact Crescendo team that there are no current plans to return their stores to 24-hour operations. This statement is consistent with a similar response from Walmart in July 2022, when another version of this claim circulated.

Walmart is a global retail corporation with an extensive network of hypermarkets, discount department stores, and grocery stores. A significant feature of Walmart’s operations is its store hours. Many Walmart stores used to operate 24 hours a day, offering customers the opportunity to shop at their convenience. However, in 2020, due to the global pandemic, Walmart revised its operating hours to be from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time. (Source)

Conclusion

The claim that Walmart is returning to 24-hour operations is false. Despite changes in pandemic conditions, the company has confirmed that it has no current plans to extend its operating hours back to 24 hours a day at the moment.
