What's Open, Closed On New Year's Day 2020 In California

What's open and closed this New Year's Day? Certain grocery chains are open while the majority will be closed for the holiday. As a federal holiday since 1885, all "non-essential" federal offices are closed.

City hall offices and public works will be closed across the state of California. Postal service will also be halted on New Year's Day.

And though Jan. 1 might be the first day of a new decade, that doesn’t mean your shopping and dining needs are any less real. Or perhaps that gift card you got during the holidays is burning a hole in your pocket?

The good news for you is that several chain restaurants, grocery stores and retailers will still be open in California on New Year’s Day. You are encouraged to call ahead and confirm the hours with specific locations, since times may still vary.
