when does walgreens close

Most Walgreens stores close around 10:00 PM on regular days, but hours vary a lot by location and whether the store is 24 hours.

Typical Walgreens closing times

  • Many standard Walgreens locations list general hours of about 8:00 AM–10:00 PM, seven days a week.
  • Some sources list a slightly earlier opening time (around 7:00 AM) with the same 10:00 PM closing.
  • A number of stores are open 24 hours, especially in busy or urban areas.
  • Pharmacy counters often close earlier than the main store (for example, around 8:00 PM on weekdays and earlier on weekends), even when the store itself remains open.

Holidays and special days

  • Most Walgreens locations stay open on major holidays but may use reduced hours, opening later and closing earlier than normal.
  • Christmas Day and Thanksgiving commonly operate on shortened schedules; hours can differ widely by store.

How to find when your Walgreens closes

Because hours are not the same everywhere, the only reliable way to know when your local Walgreens closes today is to check that specific store:

  1. Search “Walgreens near me” and open the store details on Google Maps or another map app to see today’s hours.
  2. Visit the official Walgreens store locator on their website or app and enter your ZIP code to see closing times and pharmacy hours for each nearby location.
  1. If you are going close to opening or closing time, call the store directly to confirm, especially on holidays or bad‑weather days when hours may change.

In practice, if you just need a quick rule of thumb and can’t look it up, assume a typical Walgreens will close by 10:00 PM, and a pharmacy counter may close earlier in the evening.

TL;DR: “When does Walgreens close?” – usually around 10:00 PM at many locations, but it can be earlier, later, or even 24 hours, so always check your specific store’s hours online or by phone.
