New Year’s Day is a time for fresh starts, late sleep-ins, and maybe a trip out for brunch ingredients or recovery essentials. However, not every store will be operating on regular hours on January 1, 2026.

While many major U.S. stores remain open on New Year’s Day, several operate on reduced holiday schedules, meaning shortened hours or delayed openings are common.

If you’re planning to restock the fridge, grab coffee, or take care of errands after the celebrations, it’s good to know which locations in Los Angeles will be open and which may have limited availability for the holiday.
