Easter Sunday is on April 9 this year, and you may find yourself scrambling at the last minute to get an Easter ham or Peeps for the kids in time for the pastel-painted holiday. Luckily, Kroger, Walmart, and Trader Joe's will be open on Easter Sunday, but with reduced hours for those still looking for eggs on the day of the hunt.

Kroger (as well as their fuel centers) will be operating on a shortened schedule to give their employees a well-deserved break this Easter Sunday. As noted on their website, Kroger will have different times for each location, but most stores will open at 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., but it’s important to note that their pharmacies will be closed.

It’s best to be prepared ahead of time, so you should check your local Kroger's hours before you head out to do that last-minute shopping. While you're at it, you may want to make things easier on yourself by browsing the store's conveniently compiled online Easter shopping guide, and you can also order your goods in advance and pick them up in-store for free.
