A look at Walmart's business hours on New Year's Day 2023

New Year's Day will be a business day for the store. However, hours will vary by region, so it would be a good idea to call your neighborhood Walmart or use the store locator on the website to ensure you.

When Good Housekeeping contacted the retailer last year to inquire about their January 1 hours, a spokesperson said:

"All Walmart stores will be open during normal business hours on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day."

Most store locations normally open daily from 6 am to 11 pm for New Year's Day 2023. On the majority of federal holidays, most locations are open as usual, but on Christmas Eve, stores close early at 6 pm.

While the stores are often closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, it's always wise to check with your local store to be certain. However, you can visit a Walmart location on December 31 to get everything you need because they are open during regular business hours on New Year's Eve 2022.
