Which grocery stores, restaurants will be open for Easter 2026?
Publix will be closed and Walmart, Kroger and other chains will keep regular hours, while pharmacies and clinics also shut down, company statements said.
On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, grocery store hours shift across Florida; Publix locations are closed while Walmart and Kroger remain open for regular hours.
The holiday, which follows a 40-day period known as Lent, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and functions as one of several "movable feasts," according to the History Channel.
Retailers including Winn-Dixie, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe remain open; Wholesale Club operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., while Giant Eagle locations close at 4 p.m.
Stores such as Aldi and Costco are closed today, and Publix pharmacies are also shuttered, so customers should verify specific location hours using company websites.
While many national chain restaurants remain open, pharmacies and clinics close for the holiday; customers should call ahead to confirm hours at smaller local establishments.
