The New Year is almost upon us. And as the world prepares to ring in 2024, many are winding down from the holidays and getting back into their regular routines — give or take some fresh resolutions.

If you're planning on grabbing groceries or doing some other shopping to kick off the new year, it's wise to double check stores' hours. While more businesses typically stay open on New Year's Day compared to Christmas Day, a handful of chains still cut back on hours or shut their doors to commemorate the holiday. Some also close up shop early for New Year's Eve.

Operations can vary on location. When in doubt, call ahead or check hours of stores in your neighborhood online.
