Plenty of retailers and restaurants close on Easter Sunday. But if on Easter morning, which this year is Sunday, April 5, you discover you’re missing a few essential items for your holiday festivities, you might wonder: Is Kroger open on Easter?
Whether you need chocolate eggs, a honey-baked ham, or sparkling wine for mimosas, Kroger could be your go-to.
Kroger is known for its budget-friend holiday meal deals, which are especially welcome during these times of inflation and increasing food costs so if you have a Kroger in your neighborhood, it might be the place you head to first.
Unlike many grocers that close for the holiday, Kroger typically keeps its doors open.
So the short answer: Yes, most Kroger stores are open on Easter Sunday.
However, hours may be reduced depending on location. Some locations may close earlier than usual, and pharmacy hours are often more limited than hours for the main grocery store.
Most Kroger locations will be open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. but because Kroger operates thousands of stores nationwide, customers are encouraged to check their local store using the Kroger app or website before heading out.
The following brands operate under the Kroger umbrella and these stores’ hours may also be limited on Easter:
- Baker’s, City Market
- Dillons
- Food 4 Less
- Foods Co
- Fred Meyer
- Fry’s
- Gerbes
- Jay C Food Store
- King Soopers
- Mariano’s
- Metro Market
- Pay-Less Super Markets
- Pick’n Save
- QFC
- Ralphs
- Ruler
- Smith’s Food and Drug
One thing that makes Kroger especially popular during holidays like Easter is its focus on convenience and meal packages that simplify meal planning.
The company has built a reputation for offering ready-to-make holiday meal bundles and affordable packages that take the stress out of hosting.
In recent years, Kroger has promoted complete Easter meal deals featuring ham, sides, and dessert for as little as about $6 per person, giving families a budget-friendly way to prepare a full holiday spread.
Customers can also order prepared meals, ready-to-heat options, and full ingredient bundles online for pickup or delivery.
