Here are some other pharmacies open on the 4th of July 2022.
A CVS spokesperson said CVS pharmacies will be open this 4th of July as usual, including those operating on a 24h schedule. Still, some locations may be closed or working on a reduced schedule. Just like with Kroger Pharmacy, call ahead this 4th of July.
