Here Are All the Grocery Stores Open on Easter Sunday This Year

So you’ve planned the perfect Easter at home with loved ones: there’s plenty of Easter candy to go around, and the house is adorned with the prettiest spring decorations. But everyone knows that holidays don’t always go according to plan — especially when it comes to food and grocery shopping! Maybe you’ve forgotten that key ingredient in your perfect Easter dinner recipe, or perhaps even run out of chocolate eggs in your basket — but no matter what item on your shopping list you forgot to pick up, there’s no need to worry: There will be several grocery stores open on Easter, so you can ensure that your meal will go smoothly.

That being said, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis this year, you should remember to only take trips to the grocery store and pharmacy when absolutely necessary. If possible, you should opt for grocery delivery or curbside pickup. But if you must head to the store this Easter and in the next few weeks, practice social distancing and proper hygiene, and wear a face covering while out in public. Seniors and at-risk customers should shop during designated hours.

Please note that due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, many grocery stores may have adjusted their regular store hours. It’s best to call your nearest chain before you head out to get the most up-to-date information on closures, hours, and more.
