Where to Find Walgreens Locations and Services Across South Carolina

Walgreens locations and hours in South Carolina

Walgreens operates more than 100 stores across South Carolina, from the Lowcountry to the Upstate. You can find a Walgreens in most towns with a population over 5,000, and multiple locations in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach. Store hours vary by location—most open between 7 and 9 a.m. and close between 9 and 11 p.m., but some locations in busy areas stay open 24 hours.

To find the nearest store, visit walgreens.com and use the store locator tool, or call 1-800-WALGREENS. You can also search by address, zip code, or service type. The website shows current hours, pharmacy hours (which sometimes differ from store hours), and which services each location offers. Many Walgreens locations also have a photo center, a clinic, or a drive-through pharmacy.

Pharmacy services and prescription refills

Walgreens pharmacies fill prescriptions for most insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private coverage. You can transfer a prescription from another pharmacy by calling the store directly or using the Walgreens app. Refills can be ordered online, through the app, by phone, or in person at the pharmacy counter.

Wait times for new prescriptions typically range from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how busy the pharmacy is and whether the medication is in stock. Many Walgreens locations offer drive-through pharmacy service, which lets you pick up prescriptions without leaving your car. Some stores also offer mail delivery for regular refills, which can save trips if you take the same medication long-term.

Walgreens clinic services and health care

Walgreens operates clinics inside many South Carolina locations, staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. These clinics treat minor illnesses like colds and flu, skin conditions, minor injuries, and ear infections. They also offer services like blood pressure checks, vaccinations (including flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines), and health screenings.

Clinic hours often differ from store hours and may be shorter on weekends. You can check availability and book an appointment through the Walgreens website or app, or walk in during clinic hours. Insurance is accepted at most clinics, and uninsured patients can ask about cash pricing. Clinics do not handle emergencies—if you need urgent care for a serious injury or illness, go to an emergency room or urgent care center instead.

Photo services and printing

Walgreens photo centers let you print photos from your phone, computer, or cloud storage. You can order prints in various sizes, create photo books, calendars, mugs, and other custom items. Orders can be placed online for in-store pickup, usually within a few hours, or you can use the in-store kiosk to print photos on the spot.

Prices vary by size and product type. The photo center can also restore old or damaged photos and create enlargements. Not all Walgreens locations have a full photo center—some have only a kiosk for basic prints. Check the store locator to confirm photo services are available at your nearest location before you visit.

Shopping for health and wellness products

Beyond prescriptions, Walgreens carries over-the-counter medications, vitamins, first aid supplies, and personal care items. Most locations stock a range of brands and price points, from budget options to premium products. You can browse online at walgreens.com and pick up in store, or order for home delivery through their website.

Walgreens also offers a rewards program called myWalgreens, which gives you points on purchases that can be redeemed for discounts. Members receive personalized offers and early access to sales. Signing up is free and can be done in store or online.

Payment methods and accessibility

Walgreens accepts cash, credit cards, debit cards, and digital payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Many locations have self-checkout options, though you can also pay at a staffed register. Most stores are wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking and restrooms.

If you have questions about accessibility at a specific location, call the store directly. Walgreens also offers services for customers with hearing or vision loss, including large-print receipts and assistance from staff members.
