(NEXSTAR) – Forgot the bottle of champagne or need some party favors to ring in 2026? You may want to confirm your local store's hours before you head out. Major retailers will generally be open on New Year's Eve, though most will have limited hours. Some retailers will remain closed on January 1, 2026. It's best to confirm your store's hours, and the hours of any services within them, before heading out on New Year's Eve or Day. By Friday, January 2, hours will likely have returned to normal. You will likely find open doors at gas stations and convenience stores as well, especially if you require a late-night stop.
