Walmart cutting pharmacy hours

Walmart cutting pharmacy hours

Walmart and CVS are cutting pharmacy hours due to staffing shortages, the Wall Street Journal reported.

CVS will cut or shift pharmacy hours starting in March at about two-thirds of its roughly 9,000 U.S. locations. Walmart will reduce pharmacy hours by closing at 7 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. at most of its 4,600 stores in March.

WSJ cites a letter from CVS saying the reduced hours will be during times when there is low patient demand or the store has traditionally only had one pharmacist on site.

Walmart said its change is “a direct result of feedback from our pharmacy associates and listening to our customers.”
