Kick off the new year with a little in-store shopping at these major retailers! 

If you like to ring in the new year with some grocery shopping, retail therapy, or returning Christmas gifts, you should have plenty of options available to you on New Year’s Day.

While many major retailers are closed on Thanksgiving and even more are closed on Christmas, you’ll find that most stores remain open on New Year’s Day. For some retailers, it’s business as usual, while others do adjust their in-store shopping hours.

To help you make your New Year’s Day plans, we’ve compiled a list of stores and retailers that are expected to be open on January 1st. Since most stores haven’t released their plans for 2024 yet, we created this list based on the information we have from retailers who were open on New Year’s Day 2023.

Be sure to bookmark this post and keep checking back to see the updated list as we hear more, and note that some store hours may vary based on location and are subject to change.
