In the UK and some other places, Easter Sunday store openings depend on local laws and store size; large stores may be required to close but smaller shops may open at their discretion. Overall, essentials like grocery stores, pharmacies, and many fast food chains tend to be open, while large retail stores and many sit-down restaurants might close or have reduced hours. It's always best to check specific locations for exact hours. This applies for Easter Sunday in 2025 falling on April 20th.
