Walgreens Retail Store Hours vs Pharmacy Hours
Many patients don’t know that Walgreens keeps separate hours for the retail store and the pharmacy counter.
| Retail Store | Pharmacy Counter | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical weekday hours | 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Saturday | 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
| Sunday | 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
The retail store, which sells snacks, beauty products, and OTC medications, opens earlier and closes later than the pharmacy counter. If you need a prescription filled, please check the pharmacy hours specifically rather than the general store hours.
