Supermarket opening hours across Dunnes, Tesco, Lidl, SuperValu and Aldi will vary today for New Year’s Day.
All Aldi stores are closed for New Year’s Day
After the Christmas and New Year celebrations, many households are starting 2026 with empty fridges and cupboards.
Many of us spent the break indulging in festive treats, and the first day of the year often comes with a scramble of groceries, essentials and little bits you forgot to stock up on.
For anyone planning to head out today, it’s important to be aware that supermarket opening hours are not running as usual. January 1 brings a mix of closures and reduced hours across the country’s major chains, including Dunnes, Tesco, Lidl, SuperValu and Aldi.
Some stores will remain completely closed, while others will shut earlier than normal, which could catch even the most organised of shoppers off guard.
Here’s a full guide to which supermarkets are open and closed today amid the New Year’s Day changes.
Dunnes Stores
