This Easter holiday weekend – Sunday 5th and Monday 6th April – many large-scale retail chains have chosen not to lower their shutters, helping those who still have purchases to make. The opening hours, however, vary greatly from chain to chain and often even from point of sale to point of sale, so it is always worth checking before going out.
Which supermarkets are open on Easter and Easter Monday?
Here is the complete list chain by chain.
Aldi closes on Easter, but reopens on Easter Monday with Sunday opening hours.
