HEB, Trader Joe's: New Year’s 2021 Grocery Store Hours In Houston

HOUSTON, TX — New Year’s Day is fast approaching as Houston residents prepare to say goodbye to yet another year dominated by the coronavirus pandemic.

While a surge in cases spurred by the fast-spreading omicron variant may cause some to rethink their New Year’s plans, others still may choose to go the extra mile to say goodbye to 2021 and ring in what they hope will be a better year to come.

While New Year’s Day typically doesn’t carry the culinary fanfare boasted by Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a perfect excuse to host a festive brunch with your vaccinated friends or throw together a tasty New Year’s Day lunch for your family.

If you forgot the key ingredient for your famous quiche or simply need extra orange juice for mimosas, most grocery stores in Houston will be open for the food and drinks you may have forgotten.

As always, it's best to call ahead to check your local store's hours before heading out.
