The new year calls for celebration, but it also calls for another thing: groceries for the week. And you might need more than just food come January 1 — maybe you'll need to pick up cleaning supplies to freshen up your place after hosting a New Year's Eve party, or perhaps you want some supplies to make your resolutions come to fruition.
That's when superstores like Walmart can come in handy. Whether you're looking to purchase necessities or just want to browse, the one-stop-shop has everything you need and more. But since Walmart was closed on Christmas, you're probably wondering if Walmart's doors will be open on New Year's Day this year.
Is Walmart open on New Year's Day 2024?
Walmart will be open for New Year's Day. Good Housekeeping reached out to the superstore regarding their hours on January 1, and was told by a spokesperson that all Walmart stores will be operating with normal business hours on New Year’s Day. Hours will vary by location, though, so it's best — as always — to call ahead to your local Walmart or check the store finder available on the website to verify your local store's hours.
What other stores will be open on New Year's Day?
There are many other stores that will be open on New Year's Day, including Target, CVS and Walgreens, so you can shop to your heart's content come January 1. And if you're also looking for a bite to eat after a busy day of shopping, be sure to check out these restaurants open on New Year's, too — you'll need some energy to get all that shopping done, after all!
