The questions readers actually ask: what time does Hy-Vee Pharmacy open today, when does it close, what time is the lunch break, are they open on Sunday or Saturday, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, what vaccines are available, and where the nearest Hy-Vee Pharmacy is located.

Is Hy-Vee Pharmacy open on Saturday?
Saturday Hy-Vee Pharmacy hours run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a 30-minute pharmacist lunch break typically 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM (3 hours shorter than the Mon-Fri 9pm close). Saturday morning sees one of the busier weekly prescription-pickup windows (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM concentrates Friday-evening prescription completions for Saturday-morning pickup). Saturday afternoon traffic shifts to vaccines (Saturday is the most popular vaccination day at most pharmacies because of customer work-week scheduling). The parent Hy-Vee grocery store stays open Saturday until 11:00 PM at most stores, so customers shopping after pharmacy close can still pick up groceries.
Is Hy-Vee Pharmacy open on Sunday?
Sunday Hy-Vee Pharmacy hours are short: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at most stores (a 7-hour window). The 4-hour delay vs Sunday grocery-store opening (parent Hy-Vee opens 6:00 AM Sunday at most stores) is the largest pharmacy-vs-grocery hour gap of the week. Some Hy-Vee Pharmacy locations skip the lunch break on Sunday given the shorter shift. Easter Sunday is the one Sunday closure (pharmacy counter closed even though parent Hy-Vee grocery store stays open with reduced 7am-7pm hours; plan Rx refills before Saturday).
