As New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day approach, it’s essential for shoppers to know the hours of their local Publix stores. It’s one of the busiest grocery shopping times of the year, with many people needing last-minute items like Champagne or appetizers for celebrations.
All Publix locations will be open on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day with modified hours. On New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025, stores will operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Subsequently, on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026, they will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Customers are encouraged to verify their local store hours, as specific timings may vary.
Publix, with over 1,430 locations across multiple states, generally only closes on three significant holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. While stores remain open on federal holidays, they may adjust hours, often closing early on days leading up to these holidays, including Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
In addition to grocery items, Publix Liquor stores will also be open on New Year’s Eve, operating from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., aligning their hours with regular store operations. Meanwhile, Publix pharmacies typically function from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., though some variations may occur.
For customer inquiries, Publix offers various contact options, including a customer service line and active social media support. As the year closes, Publix remains committed to providing convenience and accessibility for its customers during the holiday season, enabling them to celebrate with everything they need. This dedication to customer service helps ensure that shoppers can enjoy a joyful and well-prepared start to the New Year.
