Target, Publix, and More Stores Will Close on Easter Sunday Amanda Garrity Replay Video UP NEXT Even though you may have to scale back your Easter plans this year, there are still so many ways to celebrate. Several Easter traditions — virtual egg hunts and boozy brunches, for example — can be done right in the comfort of your home, no matter how small the crowd. As much as you try to plan in advance, there's always at least one item you forget to pick up at the store before Sunday, whether it's an ingredient for your holiday ham or extra candy to fill Easter baskets. That means, you're stuck trying to figure out if your nearest Walmart, Target, or local grocery store is open, so you can pick up the remaining items before the Easter Bunny arrives. While some stores are closed on Easter Sunday, a number of convenience and grocery stores keep their doors open for all of your last-minute shopping needs.
