Kroger Pharmacy Hours – Opening and Closing Time
There is no single Kroger pharmacy schedule. Kroger’s pharmacy page says its pharmacies are open seven days a week with weeknight hours, and each store sets its own opening and closing times. The pharmacy often keeps different hours from the grocery store so a store that is open does not always mean its pharmacy is open.
How to check Kroger pharmacy hours today or near you
- Open the Kroger store locator or the Kroger app and enter your ZIP code.
- Choose your store, then open its pharmacy listing. The pharmacy hours are listed separately from the store hours.
- Look at today’s date, not just the weekly schedule, because holiday hours replace the usual times.
- If a time looks wrong, call the pharmacy before you drive over. Our Kroger hours guide covers the store’s regular hours.
This is the answer to “what time does Kroger pharmacy close” and “what time does Kroger pharmacy open” at your own store, because those times really do differ from one location to the next.
Does Kroger pharmacy close for lunch?
Kroger does not publish a company-wide lunch closure on its pharmacy page. If your store’s listing shows a gap in the middle of the day, that is a lunch break, and the pharmacy counter will be closed during it. Call the pharmacy to confirm the exact window and ask whether the pickup window follows the same schedule.
Weekend and Sunday hours
Because Kroger describes its pharmacies as open seven days a week, Sunday service is the norm, but Saturday and Sunday hours can differ from weeknight hours. Check the Sunday line on your store’s listing.
Is there a 24 hour Kroger pharmacy?
We found no Kroger source that advertises 24-hour pharmacies. Kroger describes its pharmacies as open seven days a week with weeknight hours which is not the same as 24/7. If you need medicine overnight, call your pharmacy first and ask where to go.
Kroger pharmacy holiday hours
Kroger pharmacies will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. While Kroger grocery stores will close at 4 PM, pharmacy counters and The Little Clinic locations will remain closed throughout the day. Regular operating hours are expected to resume on Friday, November 27.
Pharmacy hours may also change during other holidays, including Christmas, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and the Fourth of July. Since each location may follow a different schedule, check with your local pharmacy before visiting, especially if you need to pick up a prescription.
You can confirm holiday schedules through Kroger’s official Holiday Hours page or your local store’s pharmacy listing. If you’re planning your Thanksgiving grocery shopping, see our Kroger Thanksgiving guide for more details.
Kroger pharmacy drive thru hours
Not every Kroger has a pharmacy drive-thru. Kroger’s pharmacy page does not mention one, so look for it in your store’s listing or ask the pharmacy. Where one exists ask whether it keeps the same hours as the counter.
Kroger Pharmacy Near Me, Login and App
Find a Kroger pharmacy near you
Use Kroger’s Find a Pharmacy tools or the store locator, and enter your ZIP code, city or street address. Each store’s pharmacy page shows its address and its own pharmacy details. Kroger operates under several store names, such as Fred Meyer, QFC, Ralphs, King Soopers, Harris Teeter and Mariano and each has its own pharmacy page, so search the banner that is nearest to you.
Kroger pharmacy phone number
Every pharmacy has its own direct number listed on its store page. For general help, Kroger’s customer service line is 1-800-576-4377.For a prescription that is on file at a particular store, call that store’s pharmacy rather than the main line because that pharmacy can answer questions about it fastest.
Kroger pharmacy login and My Prescriptions account
Your online pharmacy account is called My Prescriptions. Kroger’s page for it says you can use it to:
- manage prescriptions for yourself and for people you care for
- refill a prescription or set up Auto Refill
- add new prescriptions
- check the status of an order
- pay for prescriptions online
To sign in go to Kroger.com or the Kroger app, choose My Prescriptions, and select Sign In. If you do not have an account, choose Create Account and follow the steps. For safety, the page signs you out after 60 seconds of inactivity so sign in again if the page times out.
You do not need an account to transfer a prescription to Kroger. For other tasks such as a refill without an account, call your pharmacy.
Kroger pharmacy app
The Kroger app is where most people refill prescriptions, check status, pay ahead and schedule delivery. Kroger’s pharmacy page also links to the iOS and Google Play versions. When your prescription is ready, Kroger sends a text or email notification.
How to Refill a Kroger Pharmacy Prescription
You can refill a Kroger prescription online, in the Kroger app or at the pharmacy. Kroger’s pharmacy page says you can refill online, schedule delivery or add payment ahead of time for faster in-store pickup.
Refill online or in the app
- Sign in to My Prescriptions on Kroger.com or app.
- Choose the prescriptions you want to refill. You can also set up Auto Refill for medicines you take regularly.
- Choose in store pickup or delivery.
- Pay online if you want faster pickup. Kroger allows you to pay for prescriptions online.
- Wait for the text or email that says your prescription is ready.
Check Kroger prescription status
Kroger’s page says you can track your prescriptions and pay ahead through My Prescriptions. If you are asking “is my prescription ready” check the status there first and wait for the text or email notification. If the status does not change, call your pharmacy.
What if you are out of refills?
Kroger’s pharmacists can contact your doctor when your refills run out, and can help sort out a prescription issue when the doctor’s office is closed. Tell the pharmacy early, because a new authorization from the doctor can take time.
Refill by phone or in person
You can also ask at the pharmacy counter or call your store’s pharmacy. This is the simplest route if you do not have an account, or if you are refilling for someone else and want to ask the pharmacist a question about the medicine.
How to Transfer a Prescription to Kroger Pharmacy
You do not need an account to transfer a prescription to Kroger. Kroger’s pharmacy page says you simply send the details and the pharmacy handles the rest. The transfer request is on the same page as refills.
What to have ready
- The name and phone number of your current pharmacy
- The medicine name and, if you have it, the prescription number
- Your name and date of birth
- Your insurance information so the Kroger pharmacy can bill it
Ask the Kroger pharmacy whether it will contact your old pharmacy for you. Once it is filled, you will get a text or email notification.
A few things that can slow a transfer
- No refills left. The pharmacy has to ask your doctor for a new prescription.
- Controlled medicines. Stricter rules can limit how these prescriptions move between pharmacies.
- Insurance not on file. Add or update your insurance with the pharmacy before pickup.
If you want a prescription delivered after the transfer, see the delivery section below.

Kroger pharmacies fill prescriptions for GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound. A valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider is required. Availability varies by location, so contact your local pharmacy to check whether your medication and dosage are in stock.
How Much Do GLP-1 Medications Cost at Kroger?
The cost depends on your insurance, medication and eligibility for savings programs.

GLP-1 Discount Cards and Manufacturer Savings

These offers have different requirements, and some exclude government-funded insurance plans. Ask your pharmacist which options apply to your prescription.

Kroger’s pharmacy team can contact your healthcare provider to help with the process. You can also contact your insurer to check your coverage and approval status.
Medicare GLP-1 Weight Loss Bridge Program
A Medicare GLP-1 Weight-Loss Bridge Program is listed for eligible patients from July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027.
