So you’ve welcomed the new year with a festive countdown celebration, a delicious NYE dinner, and a few (or more) champagne toasts. But the day following the night of New Year’s Eve, you might be wondering how exactly to start the new year off on the right foot — especially when you’re maybe still reeling from a hangover after all the festivities from last night’s end-of-the-year bash. As caffeine lovers already know, a good cup of coffee might just be the answer — after all, there’s no better way to start off 2020 than with a little caffeine boost to get working on those New Year’s resolutions.
Before you head to your local Starbucks on New Year’s Day, though, you might be wondering if your favorite coffee chain is even open on January 1. Is Starbuck’s open on New Year’s Day? Well, lucky for all you coffee drinkers looking for a little pick-me-up to kick-start the new year, we have everything you need to know about the popular coffee chain’s hours on January 1 — including information about whether they’re opening their doors for New Year’s Day 2020. Read on below to find out how to get your much-needed caffeine fix for the first day of the new year (and the new decade)!
Will Starbucks Be Open on New Year’s Day?
Thankfully, if you’re in need of a little caffeine pick-me-up to cure that NYE hangover, most Starbucks locations will be open on New Year’s Day 2020 — though hours may vary by location. “Starbucks stores are a gathering place for the community and customers use our stores to connect over coffee in different ways every day,” a Starbucks spokesperson told Good Housekeeping. “We are happy to welcome customers on New Year’s Day in select store locations.”
Though many Starbuck locations will be open, Good Housekeeping was told that “store hours vary by location, and stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs.” This means that your local Starbucks store might have limited holiday hours, so if you’re planning on dropping by for a cup of coffee on New Year’s Day, we recommend verifying your local store’s hours by calling ahead or using the store locator tool on Starbucks.com.
What Other Stores Will Be Open on New Year’s?
If you’re looking for a bite of food to go with that cup of coffee on January 1, there are plenty of other restaurants that will also be open on New Year’s — including McDonald’s, Olive Garden, and The Cheesecake Factory. Looking for places to go shopping? Many stores and shops will also have their doors open during the holiday, so you can shop to your heart’s content in 2020 — and even stock up on all the essentials you need for an amazing new year, including all those New Year’s good-luck foods to bring you good fortune in 2020!
