Easter 2025: Retail Closures in US, UK, Australia

Major supermarkets and retail chains in the US, UK, and Australia are set to observe closures or reduced hours during the Easter 2025 weekend, particularly on Easter Sunday. In the US, retailers like Target, Costco, Sam's Club, Aldi, and Lowe's will close, while Walmart stays open and regional chains may vary their hours. Maine's blue laws require large stores to close on Easter, with only pharmacies, convenience stores, and some restaurants remaining open. UK supermarkets such as Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and M&S will largely close on Easter Sunday, except for some smaller or Scottish stores, and will return to normal or modified hours on Easter Monday. In Australia, major supermarkets including Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, Target, and Aldi will close on Good Friday, with varying schedules over the rest of the weekend depending on the state. Local specialty shops and convenience stores will remain open and busy, catering to last-minute shoppers.
