As the end of the year approaches, many people are making plans for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. But for those who may need to do some last-minute shopping or run errands during this time, it’s important to know which retailers and services will be open.
Most major retailers, grocers, and pharmacies will have modified hours on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Target, for example, will be open from 8 am to 10 pm on December 31, and from 9 am to 10 pm on New Year’s Day. Walmart, JCPenney, Macy’s, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, Homesense, Kohl’s, Whole Foods, Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Rite Aid, and Walgreens will also be open on both days.
However, there are some exceptions to note. Aldi will close early on New Year’s Eve and remain closed on New Year’s Day. Trader Joe’s, Costco, Wegmans, and Tom Thumb stores will also be closed on New Year’s Day.
In terms of pharmacies, most retailers will have their pharmacy services closed on New Year’s Day, except for Walgreens, whose pharmacy hours will vary by location.
It’s not just retail stores that will have modified hours or closures during this time. The US Postal Service will not be delivering mail on New Year’s Day. UPS will not have pick-up or delivery service on New Year’s Day, except for their Express Critical service. FedEx will have limited pickup and delivery on New Year’s Eve but will be closed on New Year’s Day, except for their Custom Critical service.
Additionally, most banks will be closed on New Year’s Day. However, mobile banking services and ATMs will still be available for those needing to access their accounts.
Lastly, for those invested in the stock market, it’s important to note that the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ will not be trading on New Year’s Day.
Overall, while many businesses will have modified hours or closures on New Year’s Day, there are still plenty of options available for those who may need to make a quick trip or run errands during this time. It’s always a good idea to check with individual stores or services for any changes or updates to their hours. Happy New Year!
