Is Your Grocery Store Open This Easter? What You Need to Know Before You Head Out
Hey everyone, so here's the scoop—if you're waking up this Easter Sunday in 2025 and suddenly realize you forgot the eggs for your egg hunt or that you’re short on dinner rolls, you might want to pause before rushing out the door. It turns out, quite a few stores are taking the day off for the holiday, and one major player— Costco —is completely closed today, April 20.
Yeah, you heard that right. Costco, the go-to for bulk everything, is shutting its warehouse doors for Easter. It’s not exactly surprising—Costco is known for giving their employees several holidays off throughout the year, and Easter’s one of them. So if you’re hoping to do a last-minute Costco run, you’ll have to wait until Monday.
And it’s not just Costco. Other big names in retail and groceries are following suit. Target, Aldi, Publix, Sam’s Club—they’re all closed for Easter Sunday. Same goes for stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Macy’s, Kohl’s, and Lowe’s. Basically, if you’re looking to shop for anything other than the essentials, you’ll probably find a "Sorry, We're Closed" sign.

Now, the good news? Not every place is taking the day off. Grocery stores like Walmart, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Meijer, Food Lion, and Wegmans are staying open today. So if you’re in a bind and need to pick up that forgotten ingredient or grab something quick, you’re not totally out of luck. Just remember that individual store hours can still vary by location, so it’s smart to check online or call ahead.
Restaurants? Mixed bag. A lot of fast-food places—McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s—are still flipping burgers and frying fries. Sit-down spots like Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, and Golden Corral are welcoming guests too. But some chains, like Chipotle, In-N-Out, and Zaxby’s, are closed for the day.
Banks, the post office, FedEx—yeah, they’re mostly closed too, but that’s kind of normal for a Sunday anyway. The one exception is some limited services like FedEx Custom Critical and USPS Express options, but don’t count on regular mail or packages showing up.
So here’s the bottom line: before you grab your keys and head out for a quick errand, double-check who’s actually open today. With Easter being widely observed—even though it's not a federal holiday—a lot of businesses take the day off to give their employees time with family or to celebrate in their own way.
Hopefully, you’ve got everything you need at home already, but if not, at least now you know where you can and can’t go. Happy Easter, and may your day be full of chocolate bunnies, pastel eggs, and good vibes!
