Publix, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Target & more: Which SC stores are open on Easter?
Do you have plenty of plastic eggs and candy?
Is your fridge stuffed with a large ham and ingredients for side dishes?
Easter is nearly here, but there is still some time to get what you need to celebrate the holiday. But don’t wait too long. Some retailers in South Carolina have opted to stay closed for Easter, which falls on Sunday.
Whether you need that extra can of green beans or want to shop for a few good clothing deals, you may be out of luck if you pick the wrong store to visit on Sunday.
Here is a list of major retailers that will be open or closed on Easter in South Carolina this year.
Publix
Sorry Publix fans, but you’ll need to find your groceries elsewhere on Sunday.
“All Publix stores are closed on Easter to allow our associates to spend time with loved ones,” a Publix spokesperson wrote to The State.
Walmart
You can still get groceries or other items at your local Walmart. All its stores will have standard operating hours on Easter.
Sam’s Club
Buying in bulk won’t be an option in South Carolina, at least not a Sam’s Club. It will be closed Easter Sunday.
Target
All Targets are set to be closed on Easter Sunday as well.
Macy’s
Forget about ducking out of the Sunday Easter meal early to pick up a few deals at Macy’s. All Macy’s stores will be closed on Easter. However, shoppers can still shop online at macys.com or on Macy’s mobile app.
TJ Maxx
All TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods stores, all of which are owned by the same company, will be closed for Easter Sunday.
“We consider ourselves an Associate-friendly company and we are pleased to give Associates the time to enjoy Easter with family and friends,” a company spokesperson wrote to The State.
Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods Market will be open on Easter. However, most stores will have modified hours for the holiday and will close at 6 p.m. Shoppers should call their local store for details.
Piggly Wiggly
Most Piggly Wiggly stores should be open on Easter. However, each store is independently owned and operated, meaning the hours for them can vary. You can contact your local store for details. To search for Piggly Wiggly locations, click here.
