Walmart
If you’re planning your Easter Sunday shopping and wondering whether Walmart will be open for Easter 2025, below, are Walmart’s holiday hours for Florida.
Easter Sunday in 2025 will fall on April 20, one of the later dates for the holiday in recent years. This Christian holiday, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, marks the end of the 40-day period of Lent. As a “moveable feast,” Easter’s date varies annually, determined by the lunar calendar, making it distinct from fixed holidays like Christmas.
Easter is not a federal holiday in the United States, though it always occurs on a Sunday. Apart from Christmas, all federal holidays are non-religious. This means businesses like retail stores are not required to close, and many, including Walmart, choose to remain open to serve customers during the holiday.
Yes, Walmart stores nationwide, including those in Florida, will be open on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, operating under regular business hours. Typically, Walmart Supercenters are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., though some locations may operate 24 hours or have slightly different hours. To confirm exact hours for your local store, use Walmart’s store locator or contact the store directly, as hours may vary by location.
While Walmart remains open, not all retailers follow suit. For instance, Costco warehouses, including those in Florida, will be closed on Easter Sunday, as it is one of the seven holidays when Costco shuts its doors. Other major retailers like Publix, Target, Sam’s Club, Lowe’s, and Macy’s will also be closed, prioritizing employee time off to observe the holiday. In contrast, stores like Home Depot (open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.), Trader Joe’s, and most Kroger-affiliated grocery stores will be open, though some may have reduced hours. Checking local store hours is advisable to avoid surprises.
Walmart’s decision to stay open on Easter Sunday makes it a go-to destination for last-minute needs, whether you’re grabbing ingredients for a festive brunch, natural dyes for Easter eggs, or supplies for an egg hunt. To make your shopping trip smooth:
Unlike Costco, which closes for several holidays, Walmart typically remains open for most major holidays, with the notable exceptions of Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. For reference, here are the holidays when Walmart is expected to be closed in 2025:
For other holidays like New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day, Walmart is expected to operate under normal hours, making it a reliable choice for holiday shopping throughout the year.
