Overview
- Tesco says Extras and Superstores will close on 5 April in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with most smaller Express outlets set to trade as normal and varied hours on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
- Primark confirms all branches in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will shut on Easter Sunday, with schedules showing some flagship stores closed from late Saturday until Monday morning.
- B&M will close hundreds of stores for 24 hours on Easter Sunday, while Scottish branches continue normal trading.
- Scottish stores are largely unaffected because different Sunday trading rules apply there, while similar restrictions to England and Wales operate in Northern Ireland.
- Retailers are urging shoppers to check store locators and apps for local hours, as many sites will operate reduced schedules over the long weekend or be shut for more than a day.
