A new year has arrived and many of us are looking to fulfill our 2026 to-do lists and resolutions.
If that means doing the shopping for you, you’re in luck. Most grocery stores, retail stores, and restaurant chains will remain open on New Year’s Day, although some chains have adjusted their business hours. Banks, post offices, and stock markets are closed on public holidays.
But Target would definitely be an option. A company spokesperson told USA TODAY that stores will remain open as usual on New Year’s Day.
