Easter may not quite feel as holiday-y as the other holidays -- probably because it's on a Sunday and because bunnies, no matter how cute, are not supernatural -- but it does come with all the trappings of a holiday. Like, for instance, being trapped in a house with your relatives, having to spend money on travel, and it being totally unclear which stores are open.
But luckily, this article was created expressly to clarify which stores are open. And since you've found your way to it, when Easter Sunday rolls around and you realize that you forgot the egg dye, and the eggs, and that, in fact, you don't own any silverware at all, don't worry. These places have you covered.
But just remember, it never hurts to call ahead before you head out.
