Walgreens Boosts Pharmacy Access with Expanded Hours on 4th of July

Pharmacy Retailer Supports Holiday Health Needs as Emergency Room and Urgent Care Visits Spike During July 4 Celebrations

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This Independence Day, Walgreens will serve as a reliable destination for both last-minute essentials and essential pharmacy services, as summer celebrations drive one of the busiest days of the year for emergency and urgent care visits.

Walgreens stores will operate under their regular business hours on July 4. Unlike previous years - when stores remained open but most pharmacies were closed - Walgreens will keep more than 4,000 pharmacy locations open. This expanded availability enhances timely access to prescriptions, over-the-counter treatments, and on-site pharmacist support when patients need it most.

The Fourth of July is consistently one of the busiest days of the year for emergency rooms, with tens of thousands of injury-related visits driven by fireworks, grilling, travel, and outdoor activities. Many patients require immediate prescriptions or medication support following care - making pharmacy access a critical extension of treatment during the holiday.

In addition to expanded pharmacy access, customers can continue to take advantage of special promotions, 1-hour Delivery*, 30-minute Pickup*, and convenient in-store shopping throughout the holiday for last-minute needs.

Store and pharmacy hours may vary by location. Customers are encouraged to check the store locator for the most up-to-date store and pharmacy hours.

Military Appreciation Offer: In honor of Independence Day, Walgreens will offer a 20% in‑store discount to veterans, active‑duty service members, and their immediate families, including families of fallen heroes from Friday, July 3, to Sunday, July 5.**

The discount is available to customers enrolled in myWalgreens® who present a valid military ID or proof of service at checkout. Enrollment in myWalgreens® is free and can be activated at checkout.

Available at all Walgreens and Duane Reade stores nationwide. Offer valid in-store only.
