The New Year is almost upon us. And as the world prepares to ring in 2024, many are winding down from the holidays and getting back into their regular routines — give or take some fresh resolutions.
If you’re planning on grabbing groceries or doing some other shopping to kick off the new year, it’s wise to double check stores’ hours. While more businesses typically stay open on New Year’s Day compared to Christmas Day, a handful of chains still cut back on hours or shut their doors to commemorate the holiday. Some also close up shop early for New Year’s Eve.
Operations can vary on location. When in doubt, call ahead or check hours of stores in your neighborhood online.
Here’s a rundown of major store hours and which businesses are open and closed in the U.S. this New Year’s Day.
IS WALMART OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
IS TARGET OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
Target is open with regular operating hours on New Year’s Day.
IS COSTCO OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
All Costco warehouses in the U.S. are closed on New Year’s Day.
IS CVS OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
Many CVS Pharmacy locations will operate with normal hours on New Year’s, but some non-24 locations may have reduced hours. You can call ahead or double check local hours online.
IS WALGREENS OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
Walgreens will be open with regular hours on New Year’s Day, but pharmacy hours can vary by location. It’s best to check ahead online.
IS STARBUCKS OPEN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY?
Many Starbucks locations will be open on New Year’s Day, but hours can vary — with the coffee company noting that “stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs” throughout the holiday season. It’s best to check ahead online.

reply to larry the leftist, joe the plumber. earl shitts, or whatever the earl shitts ahole is calling himself today, hows that sphincter hanging? your lame attempt at humor is showing again. when most people keep shooting blanks they get real ammo, not you , just more blanks. i will remind myself after the super tuesday event and ask you how your boy-man desantis is doing. backing a loser must be your life’s work. who’s going to be the next loser you back? i’ve got crying towels for sale if youu need any. how embarrassing it must be for you to have been touting desantis as a candidate for pres. when he turned out to be way too inferior for the job. dude that makes you look like a huge fool. have a unhappy new year with all that desantis bullshit. us lefties are feeling great about the new year. don’t forget about the crying towels . your intellectual superior, rick
