Target is reportedly planning to close just shy of 2,000 stores at the end of the month.
According to reports from RetailWire and The US Sun, in just over one week, Target will close stores in several states. But fear not, the shutdowns are only temporary–and for a pretty good reason, if you ask us.
On Sunday, April 20, about 1,978 Target stores will close, according to a statement the brand shared withThe Sun.
“Guests can expect regular store hours on April 19 and can check Target.com or the Target app for local store information,” the outlet recently reported.
The major department store is the latest big name in a growing list of retailers to close on Easter Sunday so that employees can spend more time with their families.
It’s not the first year Target has opted to give its stores the option to shut down on Easter, it’s become a habit for the brand (as has closing up shop on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving).
Along with the nearly 2,000 Target locations, several other major retailers have confirmed they’ll be closed for Easter Sunday, including Costco, Best Buy, Apple, TJ Maxx, Sam’s Club, Publix, Marshalls, HomeGoods, JCPenney, and Macy’s.
But for those last-minute shoppers, rest assured Safeway, 7-Eleven, Dollar General, Home Depot, Walmart, BJ’s Wholesale, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Trader Joe’s, Family Dollar, and Sprouts all have you covered as those stores will remain open on April 20.
