Quiet Shopping Hours

Morrisons

Morrisons operates quiet hours between 2pm to 3pm every Monday to Thursday, 9am and 10am on Saturdays, and for the first hour of opening on Sundays. The initiative is for people who may struggle with music and other loud noises, for example those who have been diagnosed as autistic.

Asda

Asda recognise that large, busy supermarkets can be noisy and overwhelming for some customers, so they help by operating a Quieter Hour, Monday to Thursday between 2–3pm in our large stores. They turn Asda Radio off, and their colleagues work quietly, acknowledging this hour as quiet time to support customers with additional needs or hidden disabilities. 

Details can be found on the store locator for participating stores.

Tesco

Tesco is a place where ‘Everyone’s Welcome’, but they understand that their stores – with the loud noises, bright lights or strong smells, and volume of people – can be stressful for some of their customers. They want to help deliver the easiest shopping trip for everyone in their stores – so every Wednesday and Saturday, from 9am-10am, they will dim the lights and lower the Checkouts noise in all of their larger stores, to make it a more enjoyable experience for customers.
