Easter weekend is approaching, and many major retail chains across the United States will be closing their doors on Sunday, April 20, in observance of one of the most significant Christian holidays. Although Easter is not a federal holiday, many retailers traditionally close to allow employees to spend time with their families.
If you’re planning to shop this weekend, the advice is simple: plan ahead. Here’s a detailed breakdown of which stores will be closed and open on Easter Sunday:

For those preparing Easter meals, planning a trip, or simply needing to run errands over the weekend, it’s essential to remember that not all locations operate on regular schedules. It’s strongly recommended to check with your local store for their specific Easter hours before heading out.
Easter is a time for rest, family gatherings, and holiday celebration—but it also requires a bit of extra planning, especially if you’ve forgotten to pick up last-minute treats or gifts. While chocolate eggs and festive bunnies might not be available everywhere, you can still find them—if you know where to look and avoid closed chains like Costco and Target.
