Is Publix closed on Easter? What about Miami malls, Aldi, pharmacies? Here’s a rundown
What to know about store hours on the holiday. Easter Sunday is a sacred holiday for millions of people and many South Florida malls and some supermarkets close for the day. Publix has always been closed on Easter Sunday, with its founder, George Jenkins, opening on any given Sunday until 1983. Other major retailers, such as supermarkets, malls, and pharmacies, will also close. Because Easter is always on a Sunday, expect fewer schedule changes than a major holiday that falls on a weekday. Most city and government services are also expected to remain closed. Public schools in Miami-Dade and Broward are usually closed on Good Friday for spring break, and closed Sunday. Restaurants, however, are usually open on Easter.

Publix has always been closed on Easter Sunday. In fact, for the first 53 years of its existence, the supermarket’s founder, George Jenkins, resisted opening on any given Sunday until 1983.
But Easter Sunday is a sacred holiday for millions who observe the Christian holiday. So many South Florida malls and some supermarkets and big box stores close for the day.
Because Easter is always on a Sunday, expect fewer schedule changes than a major holiday that falls on a weekday. Services and businesses already closed on Sundays will remain closed. Most city and government services are closed as usual, too.

▪ Post office: No mail delivery on Sunday, Easter or otherwise. Post offices are open on Good Friday.
▪ Schools: Public schools in Miami-Dade and Broward are closed on Good Friday for spring break, and closed Sunday.
▪ Banks: Typically closed on Sunday and open on Good Friday.
▪ Mass transit: Miami-Dade and Broward public transit systems and Tri-Rail operate as usual Friday and on weekend schedule on Sunday.
