Updated Apr. 06, 2024
We all forget things sometimes, and you may not realize that you forgot to pick up an item from the store until you need it on Easter morning. (Easter falls on Sunday, March 31, this year, by the way.) Whether it’s a final item for the Easter baskets or extra eggs for one of your favorite Easter traditions, the annual egg hunt, there’s no need to panic. If you’re looking for stores open on Easter, there are a few that may have what you need, and we’ve listed them here.
But before you head out, call ahead to check your local store’s hours. Even if it is open, its hours may vary because of the holiday. And in case you’re wondering, many of these grocery stores, drugstores and retail stores are open on Good Friday too!
