CVS Pharmacy hours
Most CVS pharmacy counters are open 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday. The store itself is usually open longer (typically 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily), and select urban CVS locations are 24 hours for both. Hours vary by location, so check the official CVS store locator for both store and pharmacy hours at your nearest store.
CVS Pharmacy is the largest drugstore chain in the US with about 9,000 retail locations, an in-store pharmacy counter at most of them, and a CVS MinuteClinic walk-in clinic at about 1,100 of them.
The questions most shoppers have are short: what time does the CVS pharmacy open today, is the pharmacy counter open Saturday and Sunday, are any CVS locations 24 hours, and which holidays close the pharmacy?
One thing to know up front: a CVS store and the pharmacy counter inside it run on two different schedules. The store typically stays open longer than the pharmacy, and on holidays like Christmas Day the store may stay open with reduced hours while the pharmacy counter closes.
Hours vary widely by location, especially between standard and 24-hour stores, so the locator further down the page is the fastest way to confirm both store and pharmacy hours for your nearest CVS.

Is CVS Pharmacy open on Saturday?
Yes, the CVS pharmacy counter is open Saturday at almost every store, just on shorter hours than weekdays. The most common Saturday pharmacy schedule is 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, although some 24-hour CVS locations stay open all day Saturday without a break. Note that the retail store typically remains open longer than the pharmacy counter on Saturday, often until 10:00 PM, so you can still pick up non-prescription items after the pharmacy closes.
Is CVS Pharmacy open on Sunday?
Yes, the CVS pharmacy is open Sunday at most locations, but on the shortest schedule of the week. Typical Sunday pharmacy hours are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Twenty-four-hour CVS pharmacies in major urban centers (parts of New York, Houston, and Atlanta) stay open Sunday around the clock. Outside of those, plan prescription pickups for earlier in the day; the pharmacy counter often closes before the retail store does on Sunday evenings.
