Tyler Perry Pays Senior-Hour Groceries at 44 Krogers in Atlanta, 29 Winn-Dixies in New Orleans

Atlanta-based filmmaker, actor, and media mogul Tyler Perry covered grocery bills for all shoppers during senior hour this past Wednesday at 44 Kroger supermarkets in metropolitan Atlanta and 29 Winn-Dixies in his hometown of New Orleans, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . "Senior and higher-risk Kroger shoppers in metro Atlanta did receive a nice surprise at the register this morning when they learned Tyler Perry had paid their grocery tab in full," said Kroger's Atlanta spokesperson Felix Turner. "We would like to join our customers in thanking Mr. Perry for his kindness and generosity during this unprecedented pandemic." Perry's coverage likely amounted to a final sum well in the six figures.
