Easter Sunday 2018 falls on April Fools Day, but that doesn’t mean you have to be fooled into traveling to a store that’s closed!
Lots of times people get the wrong information when it comes to store holiday hours and end up either scrambling to find a Rite-Aid for a last-minute gift or driving aimlessly looking for a department store that is open to gt in some mindless shopping.
Which is why I put together this list of store openings and closings for Easter Sunday, which is this weekend; whether you need a place to find an Easter basket for your cousins or want to bargain hunt you’ll find out where to head to here.
The list includes pharmacies, retailers, and restaurants and although it is for the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey & Connecticut), many of the chain stores listed will be closed nationwide so check where you live before heading out.
Happy Easter!
