Does Walgreens accept EBT?

Walgreens' current payment help page says food stamps are accepted at select Walgreens stores, and asks you to contact your store for program details. So EBT is not guaranteed at every Walgreens.

EBT acceptance at Walgreens by how you shop
Way to shop	EBT accepted?	Details
In store	Partly	Walgreens' current payment help page says food stamps are accepted at select Walgreens stores, and asks you to contact your store for program details. So EBT is not guaranteed at every Walgreens. Sources disagree: In an August 6, 2024 release Walgreens said most of its stores accept SNAP/EBT for in-person purchases. 'Most' and 'select' are not the same, and neither says all stores. Call your store to confirm.
