Are Target stores open on New Year’s Day? Store timings and more explored

Whether it's shopping for some last-minute essentials to making a New Year's Day purchase, it's important to check the holiday hours of local grocery stores before leaving the house. But shopping at Target on New Year's Day shouldn't be a problem for customers. 

ABC News reported that Target stores will be open on New Year's Day. Target also outlined its holiday hours on its website and the only days they are closed during the holidays are Thanksgiving (November 27) and Christmas Day (December 25). 

It applies to all Target locations nationwide, which means the local Target store is the place to be if someone forgot to buy the sparklers, the balloons, or the Champagne glasses to make the New Year's celebration as festive as possible. 

Besides uninterrupted shopping on New Year's Day, Target also offers more deals and promotions weekly.
