Maybe a family wants to continue the tradition of family feast. Or the Easter Bunny needs somewhere to buy last-minute chocolates to put in a basket. A holiday weekend only heightens the hunger for normalcy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But where will feed that appetite? Some grocery outlets intend to keep holiday hours this year whether they planned to before the coronavirus of not. But others who have kept essential employees working long hours want to give them a holiday break. Here’s the places keeping the doors open and those turning out the lights on Easter Sunday.

You need to fact check yourself. Wal-Mart’s hours are 7 am-8:30pm for the supercenters. Associates don’t really need customers coming up to the doors and trying to force their way in when the store is closed. Despite not being open for business outside of those hours associates are extremely busy trying to clean and stock the shelves during that time… They don’t need interruptions.
