With Thanksgiving approaching, many are not only wondering when the turkey will be done but if their local CVS will be open?
CVS is the little brother of Walgreens.
Though little brother is able to pull out some victories here and there, big brother will, forever, get the upper hand on little brother. That’s the best analogy I can come up with for the CVS/Walgreens rivalry, and if anyone else out there has something better, @ me on my Twitter.
While I’ve discussed Walgreens in great length in another article, I won’t give big brother any more time to shine. This is little brother’s time to glow, and there are diehard fans out there who are wondering if their favorite neighborhood pharmacy will be open for Thanksgiving.
I have an answer to that question, and that is, It depends on the location.
In CVS’ early days, their pharmacies weren’t really big on the “24-hour” format that made big brother so popular. Granted, CVS did have some 24-hour outlets, but they were few and far between.

Flash forward to 2018, and 24-hour CVS pharmacies are just as common as Walgreens, which increases the likelihood that one will be able to find a CVS that will be there for your last-minute needs. Now, I must give you the bad news. Don’t moan and groan, because it’s my duty to give you the best, and most accurate, info possible.
Not all CVS pharmacies will be open on Thanksgiving day. Some stores with limited hours (like, say, 6 am-10 pm), will almost certainly have restricted hours, and some of them may even be closed altogether, directing you to the nearest 24-hour CVS, which, ironically, is something that big brother also does.
So, in truth, the best way to figure out if your local CVS pharmacy will be open is to give them a call, wish them Happy Thanksgiving, and see if they’ll be open.
