Costco, Trader Joe's, Target, and 4 More Grocery Stores Closing for Easter Sunday

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A number of national grocery store chains have announced plans to close on Easter Sunday, mostly to give their hard-working employees a much-needed day off during the coronavirus pandemic.

Since supermarkets and grocery stores are considered essential, employees have continued to work in what has become a high-stress environment that comes with unavoidable customer interactions (at a time when that poses a severe health risk).

Multiple chains have instituted new policies in light of the coronavirus outbreak designed to protect the health of both employees and customers alike. Unfortunately, a number of grocery clerks have succumbed to the deadly COVID-19 contagion, leading to even one wrongful death lawsuit filed against Walmart earlier this week.

Given the broad abidance of the stay-at-home order during this public health crisis, there is likely very less foot traffic at these stores anyway. But cynicism aside, grocery stores deserve praise for taking a breath in revenue to provide a well-deserved break for their brave workers.

Here are some of the most notable stores (at the time of publishing) that plan to be closed Easter Sunday.
