While Walmart, drug stores and convenience stores will still be open, more retailers will be closed for the holiday than last Easter because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to the long list of companies that have temporarily shuttered stores due to COVID-19, some grocery stores that have traditionally kept their doors open on the holiday will be closed to give employees a day off.
Many stores also have reduced hours to give staff time to restock shelves and clean in addition to special hours for seniors and those most vulnerable to the virus. Hours will be reduced further Sunday, and stores including Walmart are limiting the number of shoppers allowed in at a time.
Stores traditionally closed on Easter include: Costco, Sam's Club and Target. Malls and department stores, most of which are closed because of COVID-19, also have stayed closed on Easter in past years, while home improvement stores have been open.
This year, Lowe's will be closed while Home Depot will open.
