An official announcement was made by the parent company of marshalls, TJX Companies, which also owns other major retail stores across the country such as TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Sierra. The announcement made by the company said that all the marshall locations will be closed on Sunday, April 20, 2025, in observance of Easter.
The decision aligns with the TJX Companies’ commitment to creating an employee-friendly culture, especially during major holidays and observances such as this. In a memo made by the company, they stated “we believe in honoring the times our associates spend with their families,particularly during seasons like Easter. This temporary closure allows our employees across the nation to rest and reflect.”
This is like a tradition for the company as this isn’t the first time they closed for a major celebration. Marshalls and its affiliates have closed on thanksgiving or christmas in the past.
A growing trend amongst retail stores.
Marshalls is not the only chain of retail stores that opts to shut down operations on major holidays. Quite a number national retail stores are confirming a 24-hour closure in the name of striking a work-life balance for their staff and observing major holidays.
Some retail stores that are a part of the Easter Sunday closure in 2025 include:
While this is not in any way mandated by the law, it shows that more companies are acknowledging the value of rest, putting the welfare of their employees to consideration especially as they endure during high-demand shopping periods like christmas, thanksgiving, new year, black friday, etc.
Will other stores be available for Easter?
While a number of retail stores are choosing to close temporarily for Easter, others will be open to serve customers on Easter Sunday. Some of the huge chain of retail stores that will stay open on Easter sunday are:
If you by any chance need to make last minute purchases for easter, these retail stores might be your best bet as they stay open on easter sundays; albeit reduced hours.
