As the clock ticks down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, many of us are busy preparing for celebrations, making last-minute grocery runs, or picking up snacks for a cozy night in. If you’re planning to stop by Publix on December 31st this year, you might be wondering about their hours of operation.
For those eager to stock up before the festivities begin, it’s good news: Publix will be open until 7 PM on New Year’s Eve. This gives you ample time to grab everything from party platters and sparkling beverages to fresh ingredients for your celebratory meals.
It’s worth noting that while some stores may have adjusted hours during the holiday season—either opening later or closing earlier—Publix maintains its tradition of being available for shoppers looking to make their final purchases before ringing in the new year. So whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply want some treats at home as you count down with loved ones, you’ll find what you need at your local store.
After all that excitement comes January 1st—a day often filled with resolutions and perhaps a bit of recovery from the previous night’s revelry. On New Year’s Day itself, however, Publix will remain closed entirely; it’s one of only three holidays throughout the year when they shut their doors completely (the others being Thanksgiving and Christmas). This closure allows employees time off to relax and spend quality moments with family after what can be an exhausting holiday season.
So mark your calendars! If you’re planning a trip to Publix on New Year’s Eve, remember they’ll close at 7 PM sharp—but if you’re hoping for any shopping on January 1st? You’ll need another plan since they won’t be open at all.
