Did you know that many grocery stores offered senior discounts? Many grocery stores are franchised which means it will be up to the individual store owner to decide whether or not to offer discounts. Promotions can vary from store to store.
March 2020 update – in light of our present circumstances, businesses may be changing their senior discount policies so double check to avoid disappointment. I will update this list once businesses return to normal.
