With the final days of 2023 upon us, the official toast to 2024 is right around the corner: New Year’s Day. A new year means a fresh start, and the hopes that those new year’s resolutions stick past January.
Whether we care to admit it or not, our aspirations and goals to renew and replenish for the next year often require a bit of shopping. You may have set a strict no-takeout food rule, or maybe you promised to clean your closet and redo your wardrobe. Nevertheless, a trip to the store is a given.
For those who are thinking about getting a head start on shopping this New Year’s Day, make sure the store you wish to go to is actually open for business. If you’re unsure which supermarkets, retail spaces, or gas stations will be available during the holiday, here’s a list.
