There are three questions that are repeated every year when the Easter: where can I travel? Is it going to rain this vacation? And will the shops and establishments be open on holidays?
For those who are lucky enough to be able to escape for a few days and for those who prefer to stay at home resting, there is good news, many of the main supermarket chains do open, both in Thursday and Good Friday as on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
But there are other establishments that either close or reduce their hours, here we give you all the information!
Supermarket hours at Easter 2023
As it will not be a holiday in all the autonomous communities, the opening and closing hours of the main supermarket chains may vary. These are the approximate hours which will remain open to the public this Resurrection Sunday and Easter Monday:
Whether it is a holiday or not, on April 9, as it is Sunday, Mercadona stores will remain closed, as usual. However, if a specific opening arises, customers can go to the official Mercadona search engine.
As for Monday, April 10, despite being a holiday, it is not national in nature, so Juan Roig stores will open at their normal hours, which is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. But the regions that do have it as holidays will not open.
The French chain, which includes Carrefour Market and Carrefour Express, will open each of its stores depending on the region, whether they recognize these days as holidays or not, and the law in force in each territory.
For this reason, from Carrefour they make available to consumers a store locator where they show the closest establishments that are open. Keep in mind that its usual opening is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
On ordinary days, Dia supermarkets are open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and although they have not yet published their opening hours for Easter 2023, last year they already warned that, when in doubt, it is better to consult your store finder from their official website.
The German chain also has more varied schedules. Some of its establishments close on Sundays and holidays, but others remain open.
Usually the entry for customers is at 9:00 in the morning, while the closing is between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m.
The French group is another one that has store finder and locator on your own website. Although they do usually open their doors on Sundays and holidays, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Both El Corte Inglés and Hipercor will open to the public on public holidays but with reduced opening hours, instead of being from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., it will be from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in their stores and establishments.
