As shoppers gear up to utilize holiday gift cards and make returns, many will find that several major retailers will be open on New Year’s Day 2025. Among those welcoming customers are Target and Walmart, while Costco will remain closed for the day.
Walmart plans to operate during its regular business hours on New Year’s Day, which typically extend until 11 p.m. Shoppers are encouraged to verify the specific hours of their local Walmart, as they can vary by location. A spokesperson for Walmart confirmed that all stores will be open as usual, catering to the needs of shoppers looking to start the year fresh.
In contrast, Costco will not be welcoming customers on New Year’s Day, opting to close its doors for the holiday.
Target, having closed on Christmas Day, will also be open on New Year’s Day, providing another option for those wanting to spend their gift cards or return items. Shoppers are advised to check the hours of their local Target store for specifics.
This proactive approach by major retailers allows customers to easily navigate post-holiday shopping, ensuring that New Year’s Day remains an accessible time for consumers. With the convenience of various open stores, shoppers can start the new year off on the right foot, taking advantage of returning gifts or enjoying the benefits of their holiday gifts.
