CVS and Walgreens locations are open for business on Memorial Day 2020. Like most retail stores, CVS and Walgreens are offering special discounts and sales for the holiday, while also implementing safety practices for social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak. CVS and Walgreens stores do not typically have a set holiday schedule that applies to all of their stores chainwide, so there could be some variation from store to store.

Keep in mind that individual store hours and policies may vary because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some stores may be open for more limited hours in certain locations or have other policies in place for safety purposes. It’s best to check with your local store for specific policies.

CVS has set aside shopping hours for vulnerable customers every Wednesday from 9-10 a.m. at most locations.

CVS is also offering COVID-19 testing at some of its drive-through pharmacy locations, and is committed to establishing up to 1,000 sites by the end of May. These use self-swab tests for individuals who meet CDC guidelines. Patients must register in advance for the test at CVS.com. Patients stay in their cars and are directed to a drive-thru window and are given a test kit, where they’re observed to make sure they use the kit properly.

Walgreens stores tend to be open on Memorial Day, but they do not have set holiday hours, so their exact hours may vary from store to store today. It’s best to check before stopping by.
