On this page
Walgreens does not publish one set of hours for the whole chain. Each store has its own page in the store locator. This is a summary in our own words of those pages, read on October 26, 2026. Your store's own page is the one that applies.
Walgreens hours today
To see what time your Walgreens opens or closes today, find the store through the Walgreens store listings (state, then city, then store) or the store locator. Each store page shows today's store hours and today's pharmacy hours, then the hours for the full week.
What time does Walgreens open and close?
For a typical week, we read the page of every Walgreens store linked from the city pages for one state, Delaware: 44 stores.
| Store hours on Monday | Stores |
|---|---|
| 7 AM to 10 PM | 24 |
| 8 AM to 9 PM | 8 |
| 7 AM to 11 PM | 3 |
| 8 AM to 10 PM | 3 |
| Open 24 hours | 2 |
| Other hours | 4 |
Of the 42 stores not open around the clock, 30 opened at 7 AM and 11 at 8 AM on Monday. For closing time, 27 closed at 10 PM and 9 at 9 PM. The 2 stores open 24 hours on Monday were open 24 hours all seven days.
Weekend hours
Weekends look much the same. On Saturday and on Sunday, 20 of the 44 stores kept 7 AM to 10 PM, 8 kept 8 AM to 9 PM and 8 kept 8 AM to 10 PM. One store in Dover listed weekday hours of 9:30 AM to 6 PM and showed both Saturday and Sunday as closed, and one Wilmington store was closed on Sunday.
Walgreens pharmacy hours are shorter
The pharmacy keeps its own hours, and on Monday it closed earlier than the store at 37 of the 44 stores.
| Pharmacy | Most common hours | Next most common |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9 AM to 9 PM (10 stores) | 9 AM to 7 PM (9 stores) |
| Saturday | 9 AM to 6 PM (32 stores) | Closed (10 stores) |
| Sunday | Closed (22 stores) | 10 AM to 6 PM (16 stores) |
Every one of the 44 pages also listed a 30-minute pharmacy meal break. At 34 stores it ran from 1:30 to 2 PM and at 9 stores from 1 to 1:30 PM; the remaining store, whose pharmacy stays open around the clock from Tuesday to Friday, listed a break from 11 to 11:30 AM, plus a second one overnight.
Holiday hours
The pages we read covered October 26 to November 1, 2026, so they listed no holiday hours. Before Thanksgiving, Christmas or another holiday, check your store page in the days before; it shows the coming week.
How we count
On October 26, 2026 we read the Walgreens state listing for Delaware, its 26 city pages and the 44 Delaware store pages they link to. For each store we took the store and pharmacy hours listed for the week of October 26 to November 1, 2026. One state is a sample, not the whole country; stores elsewhere can keep other hours.
