Easter Sunday will be here on March 31, and we’ve been busy planning for weeks. For those celebrating, it will be a weekend filled with delicious family dinners and adorable Easter baskets and other favorite traditions.
But while that ham or turkey is in the oven and everyone is unpacking the sweet contents of those baskets, we probably will have some things to get done. Maybe we want to run to the store to get a last-minute ingredient for dessert or pick up a new pair of shoes to go with that Easter dress.
It’s possible you’ll find your favorite stores are closed on Easter or have limited hours. This can be the case with grocery stores, department stores and even pharmacies. It’s really important to do some research ahead of time or call your nearest location and see if they have modified hours or will be open at all. It’ll be a busy day, you want to make sure they’ll be there before hopping in the car and heading over!
We confirmed Easter hours and open/closed status directly with all the stores below. For stores that don’t specifically say they are open or closed on Easter on their websites, we called stores directly or emailed their teams. In other words, we confirmed Easter hours to the best of our ability at the national level. Some franchises may differ.
