As the largest U.S. retailer, many people rely on Walmart for their basics and household goods. Since it’s the primary shopping spot for many people, it’s important to know on what holidays Walmart closes, and when the store is open. While there are 11 federal holidays throughout the year, these holidays aren’t universal to everyone in the U.S. They only legally apply to federal employees, so even on these holidays, many stores remain open. If you’re planning to head out to the store, here’s this year’s Walmart holiday schedule.

Walmart is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.

Some Walmart stores may also have extended hours during the Christmas shopping season.
2023 Walmart Store Hours
Simply assuming that Walmart will be open the same hours as the last time you were there, is not correct. Walmart doesn’t have a standard set of opening hours for all its stores. The time Walmart stores are open will vary from location to location. No Walmart locations are 24 hours anymore though, so you will need to check your local store hours to be sure. The best way to find out the hours of a local Walmart store is to use the official Walmart store locator tool. This will give you the opening hours of each Walmart store.
The above information is general information regarding when Walmart stores will be open for business. A variety of incidents can cause exceptions to the above information. For example, specific stores may close due to damage to the store, and there can be closures due to severe weather as well. In some cases, such as in Portland, Oregon, Walmart has made a decision to close their local stores due to local crime and poor economic conditions.
So, it’s always best to call and confirm with your store if you have any doubt about it being open or closed.
