From Target to Costco: What stores are closed Easter weekend

Consumer Confidence

Though the end of March means the weather will stall in the high 50s and low 60s, the sweet satisfaction of the warm sun is just ahead. In the days before April, we soak up the last few chills of cosy season before we pick up, dust ourselves off (our homes especially), and revel in what feels a lot more like spring. Of course, this year, the last three days of March will host two widely-recognised holidays, Good Friday and Easter.

Good Friday, the day of Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion, according to the Christian church, will take place on 29 March. Then, on 31 March, millions of Americans will gather with their loved ones, painting and hunting eggs, to celebrate Easter.

For those planning to contribute a last-minute dish to your family’s Easter brunch or needing to pick up some extra supplies for a weekend full of spring cleaning, you might want to check store openings ahead of time as several places will likely be operating on holiday hours.

According to USA Today, US Postal Service facilities, UPS Store locations, and FedEx will all be open on Good Friday.
