Coronavirus Easter Sunday: Which grocery stores are open

With Easter approaching Georgia shoppers may be wondering if they’ll be able to get their ingredients together for a decidedly different Sunday meal amid the coronavirus pandemic.

However, unlike years past, some grocery stores are closing to give employees some time to rest. Grocery workers have been working especially hard over the last month or so to keep shelves stocked. Many have had special shopping hours for people at higher-risk of contracting the new virus to make purchases.

Below is a list of stores that are open and closed this year on Sunday, April 12, according to Good Housekeeping.

Still, Georgians should be sure to contact their local store to confirm operating hours and obtain current information on closings.
