“We have consistently heard from our team members—who are the
face of Walgreens—that time off is a meaningful way for us to
demonstrate we value them,” said Tracey D. Brown, EVP, President
Walgreens Retail & Chief Customer Officer. “We heard them, are
committed to listening to their feedback and are dedicated to doing
what is right for them. We hope they can enjoy the holiday and
spend time with their loved ones.”
Walgreens team members scheduled to work on Thanksgiving at
24-hour locations are essential in delivering care to their
communities and serve as a critical destination for healthcare
services, including prescription access, pharmacist advice and
medication management. We are grateful to them for continuing to
care for our customers on this holiday.
During respiratory illness season, Walgreens pharmacy team
members are especially critical to communities by providing
patients with life-saving vaccines, COVID-19 and flu testing,
health screenings and needed medications—in some instances even
serving as a primary point of care for individuals who have limited
access to other health care professionals and services.
“We know that this season comes with immense pressures to
provide the highest level of healthcare and service from our
pharmacies. Our change in operations this year is intended to
acknowledge the dedication of our store team members and
leadership, pharmacists and pharmacy techs who are working
incredibly hard to deliver great customer and patient care. We’re
grateful for all they do each day,” Brown said.
A small number of Walgreens distribution centers and other sites
will also continue to operate on Thanksgiving Day, including supply
chain and centralized teams. These team members play an essential
role in the company’s readiness to deliver healthcare and
convenience for customers and patients leading up to Thanksgiving
and through the holiday weekend. Locations that are closed
Thanksgiving Day will operate regular posted hours on Wednesday,
Nov. 22 as well as Friday, Nov. 24.
Customers are encouraged to check their local store and pharmacy
hours using the Walgreens store locator.
