When it comes to holiday hours for retailers and public services, you really do need a scorecard for this weekend. Ramadan’s been running, Passover began Wednesday night, Easter weekend starts Friday and there’s little consistency in how everybody handles this time.

Some big box stores are open, some are closed. Some malls that were open last year on Easter Sunday will be closed on that day this year. There’s no uniformity even in the financial sector.

Fortunately, we’re here to provide a what’s open and what’s closed lineup card below.
