Easter Sunday in 2026 will fall on April 5, a day when many Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On this day, Publix, a popular supermarket chain in Florida, will be closed, including all its grocery stores, pharmacies, and liquor stores. This closure is part of Publix's tradition of shutting down on only three major holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. However, shoppers have alternatives, as several grocery stores will remain open, including Walmart, Winn-Dixie, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods. Most Whole Foods locations in South Florida will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., though some may close earlier. Meanwhile, several retailers and restaurant chains, such as Target, Costco, and Chipotle, will also close their doors for the holiday. For those planning last-minute shopping, it is recommended to check local store hours ahead of time.
