Will CVS Pharmacy be open on Memorial Day on Monday May 29? 

Memorial Day is a day for celebrating and remembering those who has fallen serving the United States. Many stores are closed on Monday May 29 because of the holiday, allowing employees to spend time with their loved ones and friends. However, CVS Pharmacy will have a few of their stores open.

Not all of their locations will be open on Monday, so be sure to call your local store. According to their official website, the following states will have locations open.

The website also lists which of their locations will be open, as well as their hours. CVS is best known for being a pharmacy, so they’ll be there in case you have an emergency. The store also carries some groceries and supplies for your cookout. They have plasticware, chips, sodas, plastic plates, toiletries, candy and some other essential things.

Many stores are closed on Memorial Day, so be sure to do your shopping before the last minute. That’s what encourages crowds and causes you to waste time standing in line. But in case something unforeseen comes up, stores like CVS will be open. If you have a medical emergency, call 911, as the hospitals will be open on Memorial Day.
