You can always count on Walgreens, especially during the holidays and if you’re in a pinch on Turkey Day, you’re in luck: Walgreens is open on Thanksgiving.

There are few places where you can find everything you need 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but Walgreens has you covered. Walgreens stores are open on Thanksgiving Day, and they’ve got everything you could possibly need, whether it’s something you forgot or something you realize you need at the last minute.

Walgreens has you covered, whether you need to restock toiletries, grab a hostess gift, pick up a bottle of wine or even buy forgotten ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner. Walgreens has everything you need and probably things you didn’t even know you needed. The stores boast groceries, medication, cosmetics, toiletries, pet food, toys and gifts and a whole lot more, making them the perfect place to go in a pinch.

Though the vast majority of Walgreens locations are open all the time, it’s worth noting that some Walgreens locations are not open 24 hours. These stores will likely have shortened holiday hours, meaning you should call ahead before heading to the nearest location to ensure that the store is open.

In the case of 24-hour locations, if you’re looking for the pharmacy be advised that not all pharmacies are open 24 hours even at 24-hour locations, so be sure you call ahead to confirm Thanksgiving hours for the pharmacy.

Walgreens pharmacies can be very helpful if you’re traveling and need to pick up medication, but when it comes to filling prescriptions on holidays everything depends on the pharmacist’s ability to get in touch with your prescribing physician, so be sure to bring your doctor’s contact information when you’re on the road for the holiday weekend in case of emergencies.

Pro tip: When traveling to tourist locales (like Las Vegas) for Thanksgiving, you can find everything at Walgreens without finding tourist-trap prices. A bottle of water will cost more or less the same in Las Vegas or Anaheim as it will back home.

As with all stores on Thanksgiving, be sure to call ahead to confirm store hours before heading out in case there are special holiday hours of operation, but you can always count on Walgreens to come through when you need something on a major holiday.
