Need a quick pharmacy pickup or last-minute essentials?

Here’s your simple, year-round guide to Walgreens hours — how stores and pharmacies typically operate, which holidays may affect schedules and the fastest ways to get what you need in store, at the drive-thru, via pickup, or with delivery.

Walgreens Regular Store Hours

Hours vary by city and store format, but many locations follow something like:

• Stores: around 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. (some locations operate 24 hours)
• Drive-Thru Pharmacy Pickup: Often mirrors pharmacy hours; confirm locally

Always check the Walgreens Store Locator. Urban, mall-based and 24-hour locations may differ.

Pharmacy & In-Store Services

Pharmacy and other service counters often run on shorter or separate schedules than the main store:

• Pharmacy: Commonly 9:00 a.m. to 6:00/7:00 p.m. on weekdays, shorter on weekends and holidays; some markets have midday lunch closures
• Immunizations & Health Services: Availability and hours vary by location/provider
• Photo, Parcel Pick-Up/Drop-Off, Money Services: Hours depend on staffing and store format

Check your store’s page in the locator for pharmacy and service-desk hours before you go — especially on weekends and holidays.

Walgreens Major Holiday Schedule

Here’s what you can expect for Walgreens store and pharmacy hours during major holidays in 2025:

Walgreens store hours and pharmacy hours are not always the same. Always double-check before heading out.

How To Shop When It’s Busy — or When Hours Are Limited

• Drive-Thru Pharmacy: Faster prescription pickup; lines are often shorter than in-store
• Order Ahead in the App: Request Rx refills, track status and enable pickup alerts
• Pickup & Delivery: Select markets offer same-day delivery for eligible items and quick in-store pickup — availability follows local hours
• Photo Orders Online: Create prints and gifts in the app; choose same-day pickup where available

Tips for a Smoother Walgreens Trip

• Check pharmacy hours first if you need a prescription filled — holiday and Sunday hours can be shorter
• Go off-peak: Mornings are typically quieter than late afternoons on weekends and holidays
• Use the app for deals: Clip digital coupons and view the weekly ad before you shop
• Confirm 24-hour status: “24-hour store” doesn’t always mean a 24-hour pharmacy — verify both

Final Take to GO: Walgreens Holiday Hours Are Flexible — But Always Double-Check

Walgreens keeps convenient hours for most shoppers — but pharmacy and service counter schedules can differ and holiday hours often shorten.

For a hassle-free trip, check your store’s page for today’s hours, confirm pharmacy availability, and use the app for refills, digital coupons and pickup or delivery when the store is busy or operating on a holiday schedule.
