Walgreens to Resume Standard Store Operating Hours

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beginning today, most Walgreens stores nationwide will resume standard operating hours. The company continues to evaluate and adjust certain operations and offerings to meet the needs of its customers during the pandemic.

Certain stores, specifically those located in tourist regions, downtown city centers, or markets with government-mandated curfews, will continue operating under the adjusted hours implemented in March. California stores will resume standard operating hours beginning May 18 due to local regulations. Customers can visit the store locator for specific Walgreens store and pharmacy hours.

Ongoing cleaning and sanitizing will also continue to take place during operating hours.
