As the holiday season approaches, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have announced their operational schedules for Christmas Eve 2024. CVS will maintain regular hours on December 24, operating from 8 AM to 10 PM, offering customers convenient access to last-minute gifts, stocking stuffers, and over-the-counter medications. In contrast, Walgreens will also be open from 8 AM but will close earlier, at 6 PM. Customers seeking late-night options will find Walgreens stores remaining open for 24 hours throughout New Year’s Eve.
Rite Aid is taking a different approach by operating on shorter hours, opening at 9 AM and closing at 5 PM on Christmas Eve, providing essential services to those in need on the holiday.
Spokespersons for the stores emphasized the importance of being available for their customers during the busy holiday season. CVS commented, “We understand how important it is for our customers to have access to their pharmacy and essentials on Christmas Eve,” while Walgreens highlighted their commitment to providing convenience, stating, “We want to ensure our locations are available for any last-minute needs.”
As the holiday shopping frenzy continues, customers are encouraged to check individual store hours as opening times may vary by location. Each of these drugstore chains plays a pivotal role in their communities, especially during peak shopping periods, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a festive holiday season while staying safe and healthy.
