Easter 2025 Supermarket Hours: Don’t Get Caught Without Chocolate This Weekend!
So, here we are again — Easter 2025 is right around the corner, and you can almost feel that last-minute panic setting in. You know the drill: you suddenly realize you’re out of eggs, the kids are expecting chocolate, and you’ve got guests arriving for lunch. The supermarkets are your savior — but only if they’re open. That’s the real kicker, right? When are the big stores open this Easter?
Thankfully, major chains like Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, and IGA have released their Easter long weekend trading hours — and trust me, it’s a bit of a mixed bag depending on where you are in Australia. Let’s break it down so you don’t find yourself standing in an empty parking lot on Easter Sunday, staring at locked doors with a basket of hot cross buns in your imagination.

Starting with Woolworths — they’re mostly closed on Good Friday across the board, with just a few exceptions in places like Perth Airport and Dunsborough. Easter Saturday? You’re good, most stores are open, though a few Metro ones may be shut. Come Easter Sunday, the plot thickens. In NSW and the ACT, most Woolies stores are closed. Queenslanders, you’re in luck — most stores are open, but with a couple of exceptions like Hervey Bay Pialba. In Victoria, it’s business as usual for most, except Moama. And in South Australia and the Northern Territory, closures are more common than not — definitely check online for your local store.
Coles is following a pretty similar pattern. They’re closed on Good Friday everywhere, open on Saturday, and then it varies widely by state on Easter Sunday. NSW? Fully closed. Victoria? Mostly open. Queensland and ACT? You’re okay. South Australians — it’s hit-and-miss depending on the town. Some stores like Mount Gambier, Whyalla, and Adelaide Rundle Place are open, but the rest? Closed. Always best to double-check.
Aldi sticks with the conservative approach: closed on Good Friday nationwide, open on Saturday, and a bit uncertain on Easter Sunday. Some stores are open, some not — it really depends on your location. Easter Monday? Most stores bounce back to regular trading.
Now here’s where things get a little more flexible — IGA . These guys are a lifesaver. On Good Friday alone, there are over 200 IGA stores open across Australia. Some are even running 24 hours, like the one in Mullaloo, WA. It’s the local grocers who step up when the big chains go dark, and they might just save your Easter if you’ve forgotten the marshmallow eggs or need that last-minute bottle of wine.
So, what’s the takeaway? Don’t wait until the last second. Planning is your best friend this weekend. Check your local store’s website, especially if you're relying on Woolworths or Coles. And if all else fails, there’s probably an IGA nearby with the lights on, ready to rescue your Easter feast. Stay stocked, stay sane, and most importantly — don’t forget the chocolate.
