Chocolate bunnies, Easter egg hunts and gathering with loved ones for brunch or dinner are just a few of the Easter activities that make the holiday extra special.
Whatever you've got lined up to celebrate March 31 this year, it's likely you'll need a few essentials for the big day like eggs, candy and, of course, Easter baskets.
If you haven't picked them all up yet, or forgot a must-have on your grocery list, you may be wondering if Walmart is open on Easter this year.
Given that many retailers, as well as restaurants, are closed in observance of the Christian holiday, it's fair to ask if the retail giant will be open because some others, including Target and Lowe's, won't be.
But what about Walmart? Fortunately, we've got the answer straight from the retailer. That way, you'll know for sure when you head out the door to grab all those last-minute sundries that either stores will be open or closed.
So, without further delay, here's what you need to know about Walmart Easter hours in 2024.
