Ralphs Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday Hours

Ralphs stores in the Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara areas that we checked open at 5 AM and close at midnight or 1 AM, seven days a week, which is far later than the 6 AM to 11 PM that older listings quote. Closing time is set per store, so a neighborhood in the same city can differ by an hour. The pharmacy keeps its own, much shorter day, with a daily 30-minute lunch closure and a 6 PM finish on Sundays.

Ralphs Hours Today: Opening and Closing Times

We read the store-detail pages on ralphs.com on October 13, 2026 for stores in three different markets. Each listed a single line for the whole week, Sunday to Saturday.

Closing time is the part that changesThe locator results for the 90015 and 92101 areas mix stores that close at midnight with others that close at 1 AM, and Food 4 Less stores, which Kroger also runs, appear in the same list. Open the details page for the exact address you plan to visit.
  • The Los Angeles 9th Flower store, at 645 W 9th St, lists its main number as 213-452-0840 and a separate pharmacy number.
  • San Diego's Hillcrest store sits at 1020 University Ave and finishes an hour after the downtown Los Angeles store.
  • Neither page shows a different Saturday or Sunday opening time, so weekends follow the weekday window.

The live open or closed bar on this page uses a general daytime pattern. Because many Ralphs stores run past 11 PM, a store may still be open when the bar says closed.

Is Ralphs Open Now? Late-Night and 24-Hour Questions

A 5 AM opening and a midnight or 1 AM closing mean Ralphs covers about 19 to 20 hours a day in the stores we checked.

  • The 9th Flower, Hillcrest, Santa Barbara and Goleta stores all showed a late close on the locator, from midnight to 1 AM.
  • None of the store pages we read showed a 24-hour schedule, so an overnight Ralphs is not something we can confirm.
  • Third-party map listings sometimes show a different window for the same address, so a locator status that says Open until 1 AM is the more reliable cue.
  • The Wiltern store at 670 S Western Ave and the Third Street store at 3410 W 3rd St were both shown open until 1 AM in the downtown Los Angeles results.

Ralphs Pharmacy Hours Near Me: Weekday, Saturday and Sunday

The pharmacy counter is the department that closes first, and it shuts its window in the middle of the day.

Pharmacy hours, Los Angeles 9th Flower and San Diego Hillcrest
DayBoth stores
Monday to Friday9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Saturday10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Sunday10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Every dayClosed 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM
  • Both pages list a closure from 1 PM to 1:30 PM every day, so a pickup at lunchtime means waiting until 1:30 PM.
  • Each pharmacy has its own phone number on the store page, separate from the main line, along with options to view prescriptions and schedule a vaccine.
  • Weekday closing at 9 PM is later than the 8 PM that many pharmacy chains use, but we found it at only two stores, so expect your own to differ.

Is Ralphs Open on Thanksgiving? Hours for November 26, 2026

Ralphs has been reported as open on Thanksgiving Day, closing at 10 PM, rather than closing for the holiday. In 2026, Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26.

  • ABC News, in a guide published November 2024, quoted that all Ralphs stores are open on Thanksgiving Day and close at 10 PM.
  • Local coverage in earlier years also said Ralphs pharmacies are closed on Thanksgiving, though we could not find the company's own statement.
  • We found no 2026 announcement yet, so treat 10 PM as a reasonable expectation and confirm on the store page.
Thanksgiving pharmacyPlan any prescription pickup for Wednesday, November 25. Even when the store is open on the holiday, the counter has been reported as closed.

Ralphs Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Hours

Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, 2026, Christmas Day on Friday, December 25, and New Year's Day on Friday, January 1, 2027.

We could not find an official Ralphs or Kroger notice for any of these days. Websites that republish holiday lists report Christmas Eve as an early close and Christmas Day as closed, but several of those pages are low quality and give conflicting closing times, so we do not print a figure for them.

Check the store page firstRalphs shows a status line, such as Open until 12 AM, on the locator, and holiday exceptions normally appear there a few days ahead.

Ralphs on Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day

We found no company notice listing closures on other national holidays.

Grocery stores in Southern California generally stay open on these days, but a pharmacy counter can run shorter or shut, so call the pharmacy line shown on the store page before a holiday errand.

Ralphs Deli, Bakery, Starbucks and Pickup: Do They Have Separate Hours?

Searchers often want to know whether the sushi bar, bakery or coffee counter stays open as late as the registers. The store pages do not break these out.

  • The 9th Flower page lists a bakery, deli, Starbucks, sushi, a salad bar, Boar's Head, Murray's Cheese, a wine tasting bar and a bistro among its specialties, but gives hours only for the store and the pharmacy.
  • The Hillcrest page lists a similar set, including a Coinstar machine, a meat department and a seafood department, again with no separate department times.
  • Pickup appears as a feature on both stores, and Online Deli/Bakery Ordering is listed too. Pickup slots are chosen when you order, so they are not printed on the store page.
  • A counter that is staffed, such as the deli or sushi, normally runs on a shorter day than the registers, so call the store before you drive over for a made-to-order item late at night.
What we could not verifyWe found no official hours for the deli, bakery or sushi counters, and older figures that circulate online for them could not be matched to a Ralphs page, so we leave them out.

Ralphs Grocery Stores Near Me and Food 4 Less Locations

Searching by ZIP code on ralphs.com returned 19 stores for 90012 and 9 for 93101, with an Open until status beside each.

  • Several results are tagged Shop Food 4 Less, a sister banner that appears in the same locator with its own hours.
  • Features you can filter by include pharmacy, pickup, fuel, a bank counter, Starbucks, The Little Clinic and Hometown Pickup.
  • Searches also bring up banner stores such as Boyle Heights and Highland Park, which closed at midnight in the same results.
