dailyloe.com – Walmart stores will remain open with regular hours on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, according to a holiday schedule report. Many other major national retailers, however, will close their doors for the Christian holiday. This information helps consumers plan for last-minute shopping needs.
The list of closed stores includes Target, Costco, and Sam’s Club. Other closures involve Lowe’s, Macy’s, and Apple retail locations. Department stores like Nordstrom and JCPenney will also be shut.
Open retailers besides Walmart include Wegmans and Home Depot. CVS Pharmacy and IKEA will also be open with specific hours. Some stores may operate on a reduced holiday schedule.
Easter’s date changes annually because it is not fixed. It falls on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon. This places it between March 22 and April 25 each year.
In 2026, key Holy Week dates lead up to Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday is March 29, with Good Friday on April 3. The holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.[]
