Walgreens Thanksgiving Closures: A Step Towards Employee Wellness
Walgreens Thanksgiving Closures
Walgreens plans to close most of its nearly 9,000 locations across the United States and Puerto Rico on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2023. Only the 500 Walgreens stores open 24 hours will remain operational, including 300 pharmacies. This closure highlights Walgreens' commitment to employee wellbeing.
Reasons for the Closures
- Allows employees to spend time with family
- Enhances work-life balance
- Continuation of tradition from last year
Tracey D. Brown, executive VP of Walgreens, emphasizes that feedback from employees has been overwhelmingly positive regarding last year's closures. They are excited to continue this tradition.
Operational Continuity
While most stores will close, a small number of Walgreens distribution centers and essential teams will operate to ensure supply chain needs are met during the holiday weekend.
Looking Ahead
Walgreens will resume regular operations on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, ensuring customers have access to services.
