Whether you’re staying home for New Year’s Eve or going out, everyone almost always needs a last-minute essential — perhaps you’re making a huge dinner for guests, or you’re attending a friend’s party and need to pick up a bottle of champagne. Whatever it may be, most holidays call for great food and alcohol. There are also those who don’t observe the new year as a holiday, so some might just need to buy their groceries before the holiday kicks off in America. While some businesses close early before New Year’s Day, others keep their regular store hours. But what about the huge chain stores like Publix, Target, Walmart and others?
