While stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree will remain open on Easter, other stores like Target and Costco will be closed in observance of the holiday. If you expect that you may have to grab a last-minute item for the dinner gathering on April 20, it's a good idea to call ahead to find out if the store will be open. You don't need any surprises come Easter morning.
