Easter has arrived and whether you’re looking to do some last-minute shopping or grab a bite to eat, consumers will have plenty of shopping and dining options on Sunday.
Many national retailers, grocery stores and restaurant chains will be open on Easter Sunday, albeit some with reduced hours. A few companies, like Costco, Target and Aldi, will be closed.
This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20. The date the holiday is celebrated changes depending on the year because it is one of several “moveable feasts” in the liturgical year, according to the History Channel. Other examples include Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. The holiday is an important one for millions of people around the world who follow the Christian faith, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ after a 40-day period known as Lent.
