This new initiative was born out of The Walgreens COVID-19 Pulse Check1, a quantitative study commissioned by the healthcare retailer. More than 1,000 [senior adults ages 55 and older](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morrisons-and-age-uk) in the United States were surveyed about their feelings about socializing after the pandemic. According to the study, research also shows that seniors miss going shopping or running errands and miss the feeling of being connected to their local community. Walgreens Seniors Day is a monthly day for seniors and it provides a safe, accessible and supportive space for shoppers, plus discounts on eligible regular-priced merchandise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Senior-friendly Shopping Days:** Providing safe and accessible shopping experiences for seniors to increase community connectivity - **Healthcare-retail Collaborations:** Partnering with healthcare providers to prioritize care and convenience for senior consumers - **Community Connectivity Initiatives:** Creating initiatives that foster socialization and connection among seniors ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Exploring senior-friendly shopping models for retail chains to engage with senior customers - **Healthcare:** Developing senior-focused care services to enhance the wellbeing of aging populations - **Non-profit:** Partnering with non-profit organizations to build support networks for seniors and combat social isolation ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior-Focused Flu Shot Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cvs-pharmacy-senior-days.md) - [Senior Grocery Delivery Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-and-avanlee-care.md) - [Mature Queer Drugstore Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walgreens-and-the-old-gays.md) - [Retailer Immunization Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-wellness-day.md) - [Sensory-Friendly Retail Hours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-friendly-shopping.md) - [Senior Whisky Discounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/senior-discount.md) - [Age-Friendly Retail Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livable-home.md) - [24-Hour Pharmacy Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walgreens-same-day-delivery.md) - [Masculine Pharmacy Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walgreens-mens-zone.md)
