As Thanksgiving approaches on November 27, 2025, many pharmacies across Michigan will alter their hours, impacting access to medication for residents. While major retailers and grocery stores generally close for the holiday, pharmacy operations vary significantly. It is essential for individuals to plan ahead to ensure they have access to necessary medications.
Pharmacy Hours on Thanksgiving
CVS will remain open on Thanksgiving Day. Although some locations may have limited hours, customers can expect to find services available. For those needing to visit a CVS pharmacy, it is advisable to check local listings for specific hours.
In contrast, Walmart stores will close their doors for Thanksgiving, which means that their in-house pharmacies will also be unavailable. Similarly, Sam’s Club will close for the holiday, affecting its pharmacy services.
Another option for residents is Meijer, which will maintain open hours from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving. This means that customers will have access to Meijer pharmacies during these hours, albeit for a limited timeframe.
Walgreens presents a mixed approach, with most locations set to close for Thanksgiving. However, select 24-hour locations and their pharmacies will remain operational. Customers can also look forward to Walgreens being open on Black Friday, providing additional opportunities to access medications.
For those who rely on Kroger, most locations in Michigan will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. This includes in-store pharmacies, making it a viable option for those in need of prescriptions or over-the-counter medications.
Lastly, Costco will close all its warehouses on Thanksgiving Day, as confirmed on the company’s website. This means that Costco members will not have access to pharmacy services during the holiday.
As Thanksgiving draws near, residents should proactively check with their local pharmacies for specific hours and services. Planning ahead will help ensure they receive the medications they require during the holiday.
