Hours vary by location. Check your own store before you go.

The store versus the departments

What you need	Typical opening
The store itself	6am at most Supercenters
Pharmacy	Later, and its own hours
Customer service desk	Later than the store
Vision center	Later, often by appointment
Money services	Later, and shorter hours

This is the detail worth knowing before an early trip. Arriving at 6am for a prescription means arriving several hours before the pharmacy counter opens.

Holidays

Walmart stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day, which in 2026 falls on Thursday 26 November, and walmart stores are closed on christmas day, so there is no opening time on either. Walmart is normally open on new year’s day, though hours can be reduced.

Hours vary by store and change around holidays, so your own store’s page on Walmart’s store locator is the only reliable answer. Calling the store works too.
