As we usher in 2025, many people are curious about what stores and businesses will be operating on New Year’s Day, a federal holiday. Here’s what you can expect:
Firstly, mail delivery will not be available, as the United States Postal Service observes the holiday.
Additionally, banks will be closed for the day due to the federal holiday status, meaning no banking services will be available.
When it comes to grocery shopping, the situation varies. While chains like Aldi, Costco, and Trader Joe’s will be closed, retailers such as Walmart, Mariano’s, Target, and Jewel-Osco will remain open, offering shoppers ample opportunities to stock up for New Year’s celebrations.
Whole Foods Market has indicated that most of its stores will operate on New Year’s Day as well, but customers should verify their local store’s hours. Most Walgreens and CVS locations are expected to be open, and again, checking with individual stores is recommended for exact hours.
This diverse range of open stores provides an excellent opportunity for shoppers planning New Year’s festivities. Whether it’s restocking after holiday gatherings or picking up last-minute supplies, consumers have various options available to meet their needs on this holiday.
Overall, despite being a federal holiday, many essential services and retail options will be accessible, ensuring that individuals and families can celebrate the New Year without disruptions.
