So whether you are doing your first shop of the year to get ahead on your to-do lists, or you are looking for essentials to soften the blow after the New Year’s Eve festivities, there are grocery stores that will have their doors wide open for you.

Although many businesses are closed on the federal holiday of New Year's Day, that won't be the case everywhere.

Most restaurants are typically open on New Year’s Day. This includes fast food places like McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Whataburger and Subway as well as other national chains such as IHOP, Cracker Barrel and Waffle House.

As the year comes to a close, millions of Americans turn to Target for groceries, essentials, and post-holiday deals — and knowing the store’s New Year hours can save both time and stress.

Most retail stores, restaurants, and grocery chains will be open on New Year's Day, many with adjusted hours. Major retailers like Walmart and Target will be open, while warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam's Club will be closed.
