As Thanksgiving Day approaches, residents in Michigan should be aware of pharmacy hours as many major retailers and grocery stores will be closed on November 27, 2025. This could complicate access to medication refills for those who do not plan ahead. It is advisable to check with local pharmacies for specific hours, as many adjust their operations for the holiday.
Pharmacy Operations on Thanksgiving
CVS will remain open on Thanksgiving, although some locations may operate on limited hours, as reported by USA TODAY. Customers needing refills should verify their local store’s schedule.
In contrast, Walmart stores will close for the holiday, which means that their in-house pharmacies will also be unavailable. Sam’s Club will follow suit, closing both its retail and pharmacy services.
Meijer customers will find relief, as the chain will operate from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. This means that pharmacies within Meijer stores will also be open during these limited hours.
For those relying on Walgreens, the situation varies. Most Walgreens locations will close on Thanksgiving, though select 24-hour locations, including some pharmacies, will remain open. Walgreens will also be available for customers on Black Friday.
Kroger will provide some service, as many locations in Michigan will be open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, allowing access to in-store services and pharmacies.
Lastly, Costco will not operate on Thanksgiving Day, as confirmed on the company’s website.
Residents are encouraged to plan ahead to ensure they have access to necessary medications during the holiday, given the varied hours of operation across different pharmacies.
