Stores Closed on Easter 2026

If you’re thinking of making a quick Target run after Easter brunch…think again.

Easter Sunday isn’t only about chocolate bunnies and egg hunts—it’s also one of the few days a year when many major retailers hit pause and close up shop to allow employees to observe the holiday. While some stores stay open with limited hours, many big retailers take the day off completely to give their employees time with family and friends. So if you’ve got shopping plans, it’s a good idea to check ahead and avoid a surprise closed sign on the door.
