Will Grocery Stores Open on Easter Sunday in Ontario? Full 2025 Closure Guide

Will grocery stores open on Easter Sunday in Ontario? If you’re planning to stock up over the long weekend, it’s important to know that many major grocery chains will either close or operate with reduced hours. From Good Friday (April 18) to Easter Sunday (April 20) and Easter Monday (April 21), stores like Costco, Metro, No Frills, Farm Boy, and FreshCo will have altered schedules—some closing entirely for the holiday.

Below is a breakdown of which stores will be open, closed, or running on modified hours so you can plan your Easter grocery shopping without surprises.

Costco

Costco stores across Ontario will be closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday. This includes their home delivery service, which will also be paused during these days. Plan your bulk shopping accordingly.

Farm Boy

Farm Boy stores will operate with modified hours on Good Friday, so check locally before heading out. All locations will be closed on Easter Sunday, while Easter Monday hours will vary by location. Some stores may return to normal business hours.

You can confirm exact times at FarmBoy.ca/Stores.

Metro

Metro stores will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday across Ontario. On Easter Monday, some locations may reopen with adjusted hours.

Check your nearest store at Metro.ca/FindAGrocery.

No Frills

All No Frills stores will be closed on Good Friday. Because these locations are independently owned, hours for Easter Sunday and Monday will vary.

To find your local store’s schedule, visit NoFrills.ca/Store-Locator.

FreshCo

FreshCo locations across the province will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. As with No Frills, Easter Monday hours vary depending on ownership and local store policies.

For anyone trying to avoid last-minute grocery panic, it’s a good idea to shop before Friday, April 18. If you’re unsure whether your local store is open, it’s best to check online or call ahead. These closures may also affect pharmacy counters and in-store services.
