As Easter approaches this weekend, many Americans are making their last-minute grocery shopping plans. With some national grocery stores choosing to stay open on Easter Sunday, shoppers may need to plan ahead.
According to a recent survey, Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Wegman’s, Meijer, Harris Teeter, and Sprouts Farmers Market will all be open on Easter Sunday to accommodate shoppers looking to pick up any last-minute ingredients or treats for their Easter celebrations. However, Costco, Aldi, Publix, Sam’s Club, and H-E-B will be closed on Easter Sunday, so shoppers will need to plan accordingly.
Easter, a significant holiday for those in the Christian faith, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ following a 40-day period known as Lent. The date of Easter changes each year as it is a moveable feast in the liturgical year, along with Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday.
While some stores like Target, Aldi, and Publix will be closed on Easter Sunday, others such as Kroger and Safeway will remain open for those who may have forgotten an essential item for their Easter festivities.
With Easter falling on March 31 this year, shoppers are encouraged to check the hours of their local grocery stores to ensure they can pick up everything they need for a memorable holiday celebration. Whether you are planning a traditional Easter dinner or simply need some last-minute Easter treats, there are plenty of options available for shoppers this holiday weekend.
