H‑E‑B Remains Closed on Easter Sunday Across Texas

Statewide closures

H‑E‑B has confirmed that all of its Texas locations will close on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026. The shutdown includes in‑store shopping, curbside pickup, and home‑delivery services. Stores are slated to reopen the following morning at 9 a.m.

Houston and San Antonio

While Easter is not a federal holiday, many retailers in Houston and the surrounding area observe it. Major grocery chains, including H‑E‑B and Kroger, will be closed citywide on Sunday. San Antonio shoppers face the same restrictions, with several big‑box grocers shuttering doors for the holiday.

Austin exceptions

In Austin, a handful of retailers such as Walmart and Sprouts Farmers Market have announced they will remain open, often on reduced hours. However, H‑E‑B stores in the capital follow the same closed‑Sunday policy as the rest of the state.

What this means for shoppers

Consumers planning Easter meals or last‑minute basket fills should anticipate limited grocery options on April 5. Many Texans are turning to early shopping trips or online ordering ahead of the holiday to avoid the weekend disruption.
