Easter Sunday is a day for many Americans to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and enjoy special family meals and time together. This year, Easter falls on March 31, with each year having a different date due to being determined by the first Sunday after the full moon, on or after the vernal equinox. While some people enjoy the holiday festivities, for others it may just be a regular day off work. Many major retailers choose to close their doors on Easter to allow their employees the opportunity to spend the day with their loved ones.
Retail giants like Target, Costco, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, HomeGoods, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Kohl’s will all be closed on Easter Sunday. However, stores like Walmart, Home Depot, PetCo, PetSmart, H&M, Ikea, and various Kroger-owned grocery chains will remain open for those who need to do some last-minute shopping or pick up supplies for their holiday celebrations. Walmart even offers an Easter meal for purchase at a lower price than last year, providing a convenient option for those looking to avoid cooking on the holiday.
For those planning to shop at Target, Costco, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, and HomeGoods, it’s important to note that these stores will be closed on Easter Sunday. However, Home Depot will be open for all your hardware needs, while PetCo and PetSmart will be open for any pet needs that arise. H&M and Ikea will also remain open for those looking to do some shopping on the holiday. Additionally, Kroger-owned stores such as Baker’s, Kroger, Ralphs, and more will be open for business on March 31.
Ultimately, Easter is a day for celebration and reflection for many, whether they choose to observe the religious aspects of the holiday or simply enjoy spending time with family and loved ones. While some retailers opt to close their doors on Easter to give their employees a well-deserved day off, others choose to remain open to accommodate customers in need of last-minute items. Whether you’re planning to indulge in pastel-colored eggs and chocolates or simply enjoy a day off work, there are plenty of options available for those looking to make the most of their Easter Sunday.
