Holiday hours vary widely by chain and location, making a quick check of your store’s locator essential.

Overview

  • In the U.S., chains including Walmart, Kroger banners, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, CVS and Walgreens plan to open on Sunday, April 5, with many posting reduced or location‑specific hours.
  • Major retailers such as Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, Aldi and Publix will close for the holiday, reflecting long‑standing corporate policies reported across multiple outlets.
  • Home improvement and general merchandise schedules differ by brand, with Home Depot and IKEA running limited hours and some apparel and department stores opening only select locations.
  • In England and Wales, Easter trading laws require large shops to close on Sunday, while smaller convenience formats like Tesco Express often remain open with regular or near‑regular hours.
  • Shoppers should expect busier aisles at open grocers and pharmacies and check individual departments, since services like pharmacies or delis may keep shorter hours than the main store.
