What's Open And Closed In Minnesota On New Year's Day 2025?
Expect most public services to be closed, while most stores will remain open.
Happy New Year, Minnesota!
New Year's Day is a federal holiday, so expect many public services to be closed. But if you're looking to do some shopping, most stores will be open.
Here's a look at what's open and what's closed in Minnesota on Wednesday:
Local, state and federal offices
Most city, county, state and federal offices, as well as service centers, the courts and other government functions, will be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 1 and will resume typical operations on Thursday, Jan. 2.
Banks
Most banks in Minnesota will be closed on Wednesday, including those inside grocery stores. This includes Huntington Bank, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo, which are all closed on New Year’s Day. Most ATMs remain open, however.
Grocery stores
Many grocery stores will be open with normal hours on New Year's Day, including HyVee, Cub Foods and Lunds and Byerlys. Whole Foods may have limited hours, so check your local store.
Aldi, Costco and Sam’s Club will both be closed.
Most Target locations will be open for normal hours on New Year's Day, as will Walmart.
Pharmacies
Expect Walgreens locations to be open during normal hours, including its 24-hour locations. CVS locations will also be open, but pharmacy hours may differ. Check your location here.
Liquor stores
Unlike Christmas Day, liquor stores in Minnesota are legally allowed to be open on New Year's Day, so it's up to the individual liquor store if they'll be open or closed.
Post offices
Post office locations will be closed on New Year’s Day and will not deliver or pick up regular mail. USPS only will deliver priority mail express.
Both FedEx and UPS will only offer “critical” shipping services on New Year’s Day.
Transit
Metro Transit will operate on holiday hours on New Year's Day, though Northstar trains will not run.
Southwest Transit will not operate, while Duluth Transit will run on a limited schedule.
Malls/stores
New Year's Day is a big shopping day, so most malls and retail stores in Minnesota will be open on Wednesday, though their hours may vary for the holiday.
Restaurants and movie theaters
Most restaurants and movie theaters are open on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Garbage collection
In most cities, including Minneapolis and St. Paul, garbage collection will be pushed back a day for residents the week after New Year's.
