In fact, many shops are having sales on New Year’s Day. Mall staples like Old Navy and Macy’s are in the midst of their post-Christmas sales. Walmart is also promoting an end-of-year clearance sale.

A few retailers won’t open their doors on New Year’s Day. While most grocery store chains are open on Jan. 1, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Sam’s Club and Aldi are closing at the start of the new year. However, grocers such as Whole Foods, Stop and Shop, Albertsons and Safeway will be open.

It’s a federal holiday, so the post office will be closed. Banks will remain dark as well.
