Standard CVS Store Hours — Most Locations
CVS Pharmacy store hours vary by location — but most follow this general pattern:
| Day | Standard Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Tuesday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Wednesday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Thursday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Friday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Saturday | 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Sunday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
Important: These are general guidelines. Each CVS store sets its own hours within these ranges. Check your local store before you visit, especially if you plan to go early, late, or on a Sunday.
CVS Pharmacy Hours — Different from Store Hours
CVS pharmacies usually close before the main store. Many CVS pharmacies have shorter hours than the rest of the store.
| Day | Typical Pharmacy Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Tuesday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Wednesday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Thursday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Friday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Saturday | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
| Sunday | 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM |
This is critical: You can shop for over-the-counter products whenever the store is open. However, you can only fill prescriptions during pharmacy hours. For example, if the pharmacy closes at 6 PM on Saturday, you can’t pick up a prescription at 8 PM, even if the rest of the store is open.
Please check the pharmacy hours before coming in to fill your prescription.
24-Hour CVS Locations — Are They Still Open All Night?
Some CVS stores are open 24 hours a day, every day, including weekends and most holidays. You usually find these locations in busy city areas, near hospitals, or in active suburban neighbourhoods.
How to find a 24-hour CVS near you:
- Visit CVS.com/store-locator.
- Type in your ZIP code or address.
- Select the “24 Hours” option in the filters.
- The map will display all 24-hour CVS stores in your area.
Not every city has a 24-hour CVS. If you need medication or pharmacy services late at night, check the CVS store locator first to make sure a 24-hour location is nearby.

Be sure to check the holiday hours at your local CVS Some franchise-owned stores may close for holidays, even when company-owned locations remain open.
CVS MinuteClinic Hours — Separate from Pharmacy
CVS MinuteClinic walk-in hours differ from store and pharmacy hours.
| Day | Typical MinuteClinic Hours |
|---|---|

MinuteClinic hours vary significantly by location. Check CVScom/minuteclinic for your location’s hours before visiting, and confirm the clinic is open there, since not every CVS has a MinuteClinic.
CVS Customer Service Hours
| Service | Hours |
|---|---|
| Customer Care Phone (1-800-746-7287) | Mon–Fri 8AM–10PM ET, Sat–Sun 9AM–5:30PM ET |

| CVS Pharmacy phone (your store) | During pharmacy hours |
Reynolds’ Honest Take
The best way to check CVS hours is to use the CVS.com store locator. It gives you live information from their system and lists store and pharmacy hours separately. Google is also quick, but avoid third-party sites with generic “CVS hours” since those hours can change and may not be up to date.
Many customers get confused by the difference between pharmacy and store hours. If you need a prescription, check the pharmacy hours, not just the store hours.
