Kohl's, a well-known department store, has said it will close all its locations for a full day soon. This break is a way for both shoppers and staff to enjoy a holiday together. Kohl's decision means that for 24 hours, people will have to pause their shopping plans at these stores.

This closure is a rare event in the busy world of retail, showing Kohl's commitment to celebrating special moments with its community.

Kohl's Closed for Easter: Plan Your Shopping Accordingly

Kohl's, a popular retail store, has announced it will be closed on March 31 during Easter Sunday. This means anyone looking to do their last-minute Easter shopping must make their purchases earlier to avoid being caught off guard.

There's some good news for those who may have left their Easter preparations to the last minute. Kohl's will be open for business as usual on the day before Easter, known as Easter Saturday, allowing shoppers to pick up any last-minute items.

Similarly, the store will resume its operating hours on Easter Monday, ensuring customers can shop after the holiday.

It's worth noting that Kohl's only closes its doors for three significant holidays throughout the year, as reported by GOBankingRates.

Aside from Easter Sunday, the retail giant gives employees time off to celebrate Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day, marking these as special times for staff to spend with family and friends.

As of March 2024, ScrapeHero reported that Kohl's operates more than 1,100 stores across the country. However, Kohl's isn't the only major retailer planning to take a break for the upcoming holiday.

Macy's and Lowe's have also announced they will close their doors to customers on Easter Sunday. This means shoppers visiting these popular stores must adjust their plans accordingly.

Additionally, patrons of certain grocery chains are advised to shop early. With the holiday approaching, avoiding a last-minute rush is wise, as some stores will not be open on Easter Sunday. This heads-up allows customers to prepare and ensure they have everything they need for the holiday weekend.
