Massive Change Coming To Walmart In New York?

There was a post on "X" formerly known as Twitter claiming that the discount grocery store would change its store hours to 24/7.

This would allow shoppers to shop anytime and hopefully for smaller lines at the checkout locations.

The only problem is that the rumor turned out to be false. According to the myth-busting website Snopes.com, there is no truth that Walmart will be changing its store hours.  

We found no evidence that Walmart will be resuming 24-hour operations, and a company spokesman refuted the viral rumor. Therefore we have rated this claim "False." Joe Pennington, a Walmart spokesman, told Snopes via email that there "are no current plans to return our stores to 24 hours of operations."
