Shopping on New Year's Day 2024? From Costco to Walmart, see what stores are open and closed
The new year is almost upon us. And as the world prepares to ring in 2024, many are putting the holidays behind them and returning to their normal routines – with some new resolutions.
If you're planning to do some grocery shopping or other errands to start the new year, it's a good idea to double-check store opening hours. While more businesses typically stay open on New Year's Day than on Christmas Day, a handful of chains are still cutting back on hours or closing their doors to commemorate the holiday. Some also close their shops early for New Year's Eve.
The work may vary per location. If in doubt, call in advance or check online the opening hours of stores in your area.
