New year, new goals, new... grocery list. There’s nothing quite like starting a new year with a clean slate and an empty fridge, ready for a full restock of yummy, nutritious, resolution-crushing fuel. Not to mention, if you throw an annual New Year’s Eve party, January 1 might call for a refill on some major household essentials like paper products (like paper towels and toilet paper), cleaners, and even batteries. That’s where a superstore like Walmart comes in handy—it’s the ideal one-stop shop for all of those supplies and more. The question is, is Walmart open on New Year’s Day, or does the store have holiday hours? Keep reading for all we know.

Is Walmart open on New Year’s Day 2024?

We’re all in luck, and our resolutions have all the more chance of becoming reality, because Walmart is, in fact, open for normal business hours on January 1, 2024, Good Housekeeping confirmed. (The same goes for New Year’s Eve.) The catch is, that those regular hours vary by region, so it’s a good idea to call ahead to your local Walmart or check the store finder on the corporate website to verify the hours of your preferred location.

What other stores are open on New Year’s Day 2024?

Many of your other favorite retail destinations like Target, CVS, and Whole Foods will be open on New Year’s Day—so if you have a lengthy list of errands that can’t all be checked off at Walmart, there are plenty of other options that can help you get things done.

And once every bag is secured, there’s no doubt all of that shopping will have you borderline hangry. So, before those conditions worsen, do yourself a favor and scoot on over to any of the 30-plus restaurants that are open on New Year’s Day (The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, and IHOP, to name a few) to get your fill and start the new year off satiated and prepared to succeed.

Cheers to 2024!
