To help you make your New Year’s Day plans, we’ve compiled a list of stores and retailers that are expected to be open on January 1st, 2026.

These stores & other businesses will be closed on New Year’s Day in 2026:

• Trader Joe’s
• Most banks & government buildings
• FedEx, UPS & USPS

These pharmacies will be open on New Year’s Day 2026:

While most major pharmacies are open on New Year’s Day, you may find that the actual pharmacy counter may be closed. This is true for many grocery stores and other major retailers with in-house pharmacies, too.

With this in mind, you may want to have your prescriptions refilled before the holiday, if possible. If you need to have a prescription filled on January 1st, check with your local pharmacy to confirm their New Year’s Day hours.
