What are CVS's Thanksgiving hours in 2023?

A representative with CVS confirmed to ThePioneerWoman.com that you can expect most (but not all) CVS locations to be open on Thanksgiving. This year, that's Thursday, November 23. The rep tells us, "While many CVS Pharmacy locations—including 24 hours locations—will remain open with regular hours, some pharmacy hours may be reduced or locations closed for the holiday." They recommend using their store locator tool to check the hours of your local store. You can also give your location a call before heading out. And remember, CVS Pharmacies and Minute Clinics usually have different hours than the rest of the store, so if you need to grab a prescription or schedule a quick appointment, be sure to specifically ask for those hours.

If you find yourself on the hunt for something that can't be found at a drugstore, there are other stores open on Thanksgiving, too. And while you're at it, you might want to look at Walmart's Thanksgiving hours and Target's Thanksgiving hours as well. You know, just to be extra prepared!
