Sensory-friendly shopping coming to Wingham Foodland

The Foodland location in Wingham will be offering sensory-friendly shopping starting next week.

Owner Betty Marshall says they will be reducing excessive noise, sounds and other stressors to make for a more accessible shopping experience "for those with autism and other sensitivities".

Marshall notes that other locations have tried the idea recently and have received very positive feedback.

Sensory-friendly shopping will take place at Foodland every Thursday from 6-8pm.
