Every Store Open on New Year's Day 2024 (2024)

For many, January 1 brings a wave of optimism, inspiring the creation of New Year’s resolutions. While you may or may not maintain those goals, one thing is for sure– you’ll need to take a trip to your local stores to prepare you for your week, and year, to come. Whether you’ll be restocking your go-to foods or, unfortunately, returning that sweater your family member got you that’s a little small (or too ugly), you might be wondering what stores will be open on New Year’s Day 2024. The good news is many grocery, convenience and retail shops will be open on January 1 with regular operating hours.

Since New Year's Day might also be your last day off for winter break, you’ll want to start the year off strong with foods that are said to bring good luck, and fortunately, grocery stores like Kroger will be open on New Year’s Day. If you need a little something more than food, though, superstores like Walmart and Target will also be open on the first day of the year. When in doubt, you can call a location near you to make sure it will be open for business.
