Pittsburgh Easter 2020: Updated List Of Stores Open, Closed

PITTSBURGH, PA - Easter Sunday will be the first day off for many store employees who have been deemed as essential workers during the new coronavirus outbreak.

The holiday will also be the first day that multiple major stores will be closed in Pittsburgh since the coronavirus crisis began in the United States.

On the one hand, companies are closing stores to allow employees to properly observe the religious holiday. However, it also allows some of the nation’s largest retailers to give their workers a much-needed day at home.

Trader Joe’s announced the Easter Sunday closure of its stores nationwide on its website, “to give our incredible Crew Members a much-needed day of rest.”

In a similar vein, BJ’s Wholesale Club said in a statement that all locations will be closed “to give team members a day to rest and recharge.”

Here are the stores that will be closed in and around Pittsburgh on Easter Sunday:

• Aldi
• Costco
• Giant Eagle
• Sam’s Club
• Sears
• Target
• Trader Joe’s

However, many stores are choosing to remain open April 12. Here are the retailers that have said they will be open for business on Easter Sunday:

• CVS
• Kmart
• Rite-Aid
• Walmart
• Whole Foods

It’s still recommended to call your local stores for confirmation of hours.
