CVS Pharmacy hours, holidays, and savings

CVS Pharmacy operates roughly 9,000 retail pharmacy locations across the United States. Headquartered in Woonsocket, Rhode Island and founded in 1963, it's one of the most relied-on chains for prescription fills, walk-in vaccinations, and front-store essentials.

Standard CVS hours

The hours above are the chain-wide defaults. Individual stores adjust based on local market demand, lease terms with the surrounding shopping center, and staffing. The CVS Pharmacy store locator publishes the exact hours for every location in JSON-LD format on the location page, and we use that data as the source of truth on every chain × city page on this site.

24-hour CVS locations

CVS operates several hundred 24-hour locations clustered in major metros (Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Miami, New York). The 24-hour designation usually applies to the front store; the pharmacy counter still keeps standard daytime hours at most of those sites.
