Is Walmart Open on Easter? Here's How to Get Last-Minute Items

Whether you're scrambling to find eggs for one last hunt or your brunch plans hit a snag, Easter Sunday has a way of testing your supply stash. The good news? If you're counting on Walmart to bail you out this April 20, you're likely in luck.

Walmart Keeps Its Doors Open on Easter 2025

Unlike many major retailers that shutter for the holiday, Walmart will be open nationwide on Easter Sunday 2025. A spokesperson for the company confirmed that most locations will operate during regular business hours, typically 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., though hours may vary by location.

That means you can still grab those missing Peeps, ham glaze, or backup chocolate bunnies, and yes, even toilet paper if the in-laws are staying over.

What You Can (and Can’t) Get

While Walmart’s supercenters will be stocked with everything from groceries to grilling gear, some services may be unavailable. Most Walmart Pharmacies and Vision Centers will be closed for the day. So if you need a prescription refill or new lenses, plan ahead.

The retailer’s popular curbside pickup and delivery services will still run in many areas, but slots tend to fill quickly on holidays. For best results, check availability via the Walmart app early in the day.

Don’t Forget the Local Factor

Not all Walmarts run on the same schedule, especially in smaller towns. It's best to use the store locator at walmart.com or call your local branch to confirm hours before making the trip.

Other Retailers to Consider

If you’d rather avoid Walmart altogether, a handful of other big-box stores and grocery chains will also remain open on Easter 2025 including CVS, Walgreens, and most Kroger-owned grocery stores. Target, ALDI, Costco, and Sam’s Club, however, will be closed.

The Bottom Line

Easter doesn’t always go as planned. If you need to make a last-minute run, Walmart is one of your most reliable lifelines — open early, stocked deep, and ready to rescue your holiday, one Reese’s egg at a time.
