Easter is one of the holiest days in Christianity. It’s a great time to get together with friends and family. But after the egg hunt, you might be curious about what’s open and what’s closed (especially when you realize you’ve forgotten a key ingredient of the day’s big meal).

The good news is many grocery stores and restaurants will be open on Easter, but if you’re looking to hit a department store, it’s a bit more hit or miss. Here’s a comprehensive look at which stores are open and closed on Easter 2019.

Which grocery stores are open on Easter Sunday 2019?
