Easter is this Sunday, April 5th, so Consumer Press has compiled a list of store openings and closings to help you figure out where to find what you need, from last minute essentials to a bite to eat.

The information provided is for the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey & Connecticut), but many of the chain stores listed will be closed nationwide so check where you live before venturing out.

We have also included store hours when possible.

Store Closings:

Store Openings:

· Restaurants- In the tri-sate area most restaurants will be open for the holiday and many have holiday specials.  Call your local restaurants ahead of time for a reservation and to confirm they are open.

· Rite-Aid/Duane Reade/Walgreens- Most locations will be open.  Please note store hours may be limited and pharmacies may be closed or limited in their hours as well, so call your local store to find out.
